JamesThe fuel filter is the water separator.

The drain is on the bottom next to the wires. Turn it 45° (or 180°, can't remember) and it will drain any water. You may need to press the primmer a couple of times to get it to drain. Use a glass to catch the water/fuel to see how much was in the system and to be sure you got all the water out. I change my filters twice a year. I never had to drain any water yet.

jcI tried this yesterday.

It took about three or four turns of the drain valve to get fuel to run out. I did use the prime pump. Loosing the fuel tank cap may help too.

Here is a pic of drain valve. (note, filter in pic is not installed on truck)
