Changed Fuel Filter - now won't start - HELP

This maybe or maybe not relate to my other post https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=280798
I changed the fuel filter and the car started but after about 15 seconds the engine stopped and now, it will not start. What have I done, or need to do, please? Thanks

Volvo were kind enough to fit an in-line primer bulb so you should be able to see it attached to the side of, or possibly below, the fuel filter housing. Prime it until you feel resistance and the engine should start straight off.

I'm going to assume you fitted the new seals that came with the new filter?

Been there, done that....

. I think most people doing their own servicing on their 1.9D, have been through this learning curve the first time they did it
