Cool Bleeding the fuel system

Does anyone have a procedure on how to properly bleed the fuel system on a 96 f250 7.3 powerstroke. I posted about bad smoke, so I changed the fuel filter and my truck still smokes quite bad(white-gray smoke) I changed the oil today and I don't have any oil loss or fuel in the oil. I am grasping at straws ! help

the system gets rid of the air on its own. no bleeding required.
when does it smoke? startup, once warm, under acceleration?

Just don't burn up the starter when getting her going again. Give it a 3-5 minute rest between 30 sec's worth of cranking.

My truck starts good and runs smooth for about 10 seconds, then it runs rough and starts smoking real bad for 10-15 minutes . When the smoke quits it will smoke a little when I first go to drive it , but that goes away about 1/8 of a mile down the road. When it is running rough it is very very clattery.
