Buy a new one. Honestly. A new one will have improved tolerances for the new low sulphur diesel fuel in regard to the seals, a new one with primer built in will set you back about 120 bucks and takes the cheaper Delphi 296 filter. about 8 bucks a throw.

You can prime the system with compressed air into the tank if you were wanting a short term solution.
Built, not bought.
