any way to prime fuel pump?

I'm still troubleshooting this no start. I popped the fuel bowl cover off and found just a little of diesel in the bottom of the bowl. I left the cover off and turned the truck over expecting to see diesel fuel splashing all over my engine bay but unfortunately didn't see anything. I switched both tanks and nothing. I need to get some fuel flowing any suggestions?

I forgot to add before the no start I had to drop the forward fuel tank to fix a leaky brake line. Forward tank is back on with fuel in it

Fill the bowl with fuel and crank. Keep repeating till you get the air out of the lines

No. You'll have to put the lid on
