Mazda 6 - 55 plate diesel - Fuel filter change - Robin the Technician

Hi all,

I'm going to change the fuel filter on my Son's Mazda 6. I've located it but is it self bleeding like most diesel cars now or do I have to prime it/ fill it with fuel prior to refitting?

As always your advice and guidance is much appreciated.
