Correct me if I'm wrong, but that would be an extreme high pressure fuel system that you cannot bleed like on old-skool diesels
It would have to do it itself.

the filter is on the low pressure side before the high pressure pump, some diesel are self bleeding eg bmw engines that have a dump valve on the rail where as the psa used by ford does not which means that it most likely cant bleed air out. I know on MINI diesel which is a psa engine although different to the one in the mondeo it has a hand pump to bleed the system but i cant find one any where on my car so im guessing there is proberly a way to activate the fule pump to bleed the system, and hoping someone out there is able to tell me how to do it.
And yes the new diesel engines do run high pressure around 1800 upto 2200bar now days but even old school as you say still ran into the 800 bar which still is a **** load
