Checking Fleetguard fuel filter for water

[Mike Schmidt]

When releasing fuel from the Fleetguard fuel filters to check for water in the diesel, do you also have to re-prime the filter?  This question pertains to both the on engine as well as off engine filters.

Typically you do not have to reprime and to drain them as you are only talking a teaspoon or so. Drain into a clean coffee cup or? What 1st comes out is the water as it sits on the bottom..  Sometimes you have to tap the filter few times to get it to come out.
