Default Bleeding a diesel engine

"Gordon Wedman" wrote

-my other experience with Yanmars is that the hand lever on the
engine fuel pump is pretty useless for bleeding, hence my addition
of the Racor filter with pump.

Our Yanmar installation has an electric pump to draw fuel up from the
tank. Would a bypass switch to activate this pump make bleeding
easier? Is the hand pump on the engine a type that will pass fuel
through if pressurized from upstream?
