I've always used the inline filter before the pump as a poor man's surge 
tank / to help hold fuel near the pump so I wouldn't have to manually 
prime it.  The pump pumps the fuel in the filter first, and that causes 
a vacuum siphoning from the tank..

How much air is in your filter?  You didn't pinch the fuel line to the 
tank, or put in a plugged up fuel pickup, did you? ;)
