Both of mine are on the suction side and the water sep one is low enough that fuel keeps coming out when I take it off. I immediately put a dry filter on and only completely tighten once fuel starts to overflow. I thought my second filter was on the pressure side but in trying to help a friend with a problem I loosen it and had the DW turn the key on expecting to have fuel on the rag I'd put around the loose filter. It's on the suction side too and I've never put it on with fuel in it...cycling the key 4 times for the 30 seconds the lift pump runs before shutting off. Has always started immediately.

When I change the fuel filters, I use a threaded pipe plug in the center hole then pour oil into the outside holes. That way, the only oil that gets to the engine is oil that has passed through the filter material.
We've been fulltimers since 2003, and when I change the filters, I just crank the engine and it fires up shortly. Never any problem.
YMMV

I fill both filters and have never had any issues.

Do the cycling of the key about 10 to 12 times. Makes all the difference for me.
Listen for the fuel pump running. cycle the key after it stops - if it stops. There was a s/w update to some Cummins platforms that causes the pump to continue running rather than stop. If it continues to run, you can hear it change pitch once the filters are full.
