My method is easy too.
Most fuel filters I deal with have a 1" NPT inner thread.
Just screw a long pipe nipple in to block the inner part and pour fuel in the outside part. The nipple also doubles as a handle while filling.

In the shop though I always put them on empty, open a bleeder and pressurize the fuel tank with compressed air regulated to 10 psi.
Fills the Cummins up and bleeds air in about ten seconds. On my JDs it's even faster.
