Many would say you were lucky.
Yes, if you have a Caterpillar secondary fuel filter base, there is a block-off plate that you can replace with a manual primer pump.
I have worked on many, many diesels, and would not take that chance.
No primer pump, fill the filter PROPERLY: The small outer holes are the INLET, the center hole the OUTLET. Slowly fill the outer holes with clean diesel, being careful not to get any in the center hole. OR as recommended, fit the manual pump.
