When I fitted them I just add it inline before the injector pump. Sorry no pic but should be easy to understand.
Has anyone tried this bleeding method: spraying diesel into the air intake?

It sounds as if ghostlymoron doesn't like the idea of a fuel line "flopping about".
I must admit that I'm a bit averse to that apsect myself: firmly fixed, immoveable fuel lines, look, to me, somehow, more stolid and reassuring when the seas kick-up.

Only a rather blurry one, I'm afraid:
The bulb is just visible (you can see a shine off the rubber) above the right-hand red ball-valve handle on top of the tank. It's in a flexible line that runs up behind the white GRP drip-tray and into the top of the dual-filter changeover unit.
A few squeezes on the bulb will fill a new filter cartridge - originally I used to open the bleed screw on the filter unit and let the air out there, but I've since realised that the low-pressure side of this engine will flow through all the way back to the return line. So now I don't open any bleed screws and spill diesel anywhere, I just fit the new filter and pump the bulb till the tank starts bubbling and then stops again. Then I know I have fuel and not air all the way through the system.

Does not flop about & works really well.

i have never had one flap about yet even on a coupe of foot on rubber fuel line. . it just stays where is. But if you want it fixed tight then easy to clip it in one place. all it needs is a short length of rubber either side of the primer bulb so still inline and even more solid. its safe enough and wont break fracture or anything go wrong.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this for reasons raised by other posters. To avoid the time consuming up/down with the lift pump, I suck the diesel through to the engine fuel filter using a Pela Sump Oil extractor pump and then finish off by the conventional lift pump method.
