Default 2002 24v water will not.drain.from fuel filter

hey all, I have. a 2002 24v. I bought.it.took.it.on a.cross.country.road.trip. and I went to drain my fuel filter and it wouldn't drain. it sounded like it almost sucked air.in. so I changed the.filter and.it.was fairly new, but there was.dirt.in the filter housing. so I cleaned.it out and tried.again 500 miles later but.again it sounded like it sucked.air.in.and.nothing.drained.out. any ideas?

probably either clogged, or there is just no water in there?

I have an aftermarket filter system that seems to work extremely well at filtration and water separation.

(airdog150 with fleetguard filters)

Open th Spout @ bottom and push a small piece of coat hanger up in the hole .. should empty real quick then clean it out as best as possible
