Might have just got a bad batch of fuel some where with a lot of water in it... I usually get a fair amount of of there. 1/2 gallon sounds about right. I doubt there's an issue, I'd let it drain honestly. What fuel filters are you using? Hopefully Ford/International...

Did you change the upper filter first? if not it will act like a siphon and keep dumping fuel out the drain

I always do my bottom one first, never even gave that a thought.

I've used Amsoil oil filters in the past, they seem good. For fuel filters... I'd still stick with Motorcraft/International personally, but I haven't heard ANYTHING about Amsoil fuel filters. Some of the aftermarket fuel filters don't have the water membrane on them to fully separate the water properly.
