I think everyone is making this more difficuilt than needed. Look on top of the filter base and you should find a bleeder port / screw. Loosen this screw slightly while opening the water bleed off. It needs air / venting from some place to get any drainage.

Yeah.... talking to the dealer about this one is on my to-do list. On stuff like this though, I think there is great value in getting you guys "riled up" and thinking. Sometimes you learn about stuff and get ideas you wouldn't otherwise get if you just went to one source for everything....

Constructive disagreement is encouraged. It is how I/we learn!

A little more explanation may be warranted. You clearly do not want to open the fuel filter drain with the engine running.

Assume you mean the engine must be running for the fuel pump to work on your particular engine.
