    Fuel water separator question

    Getting ready to do a fuel system filter change "first-time new owner" and had just a quick question does the knurled connector on the bottom of the fuel water separator turn to drain the fuel ? I only ask because it's very tight and I don't want to break it off accidentally. I looked in TMs and...
