Loosening the injector lines helps VERY little. Loosening the bleed
screw on the filter (if it has one) won't help unless you pressurize
the tank. With cranking it'll just allow you to suck air unobstructed.
Like William said, prime the pump. :-) Either pour fuel into it or
you can suck fuel through the lines TO the pump (both supply
and return) or pressurize the tank and purge the lines by loosening
them at the pump until the air is gone. Priming the pump would still
help start much faster even with the lines filled.
