Looks like it has a drain on the bottom to drain water off. I try to drain a few ounces out of mine every few days. I drain into an empty water bottle so I can get a good look and see what I’m dealing with.
SAR Thanks this. -
I open the bottom valve and air bubbles go in but nothing ever comes out
-
Would that be a bleeder on top of the unit? If it is, crack that open and then open the bottom and see if that drains some fuel/water out.
Goodysnap Thanks this. -
Yes it is. Tried that already. The sediment bubbles up so I know it's not plugged up. Just can't get anything to come out
-
I bet the drain it self is plugged up
Regen Again?, spsauerland, SAR and 1 other person Thank this. -
@wore out --mmm-hmm, agreed
-
Air goes in the drain
-
@A5¢ has it. Open both valves. The drain and then the bleed on the top to let air in. Once the pressure equalizes the fuel will drain. On the suction side a small amount of vacuum remains and air will be drawn in the drain.

I have opened the bottom until the air stops coming in (the bubbles stop) then open the top as well and nothing. I'm tempted to take the dang thing off
wore out Thanks this.
