I bought my 2005 Monterey Ventura III in June. Today I started to change the primary fuel filter. I started by attempting to drain the clear bowl on the bottom of the CAT Filter. I drained about a gallon of fuel with no sign of it emptying. I just topped off the tank and it is parked with a slight uphill slope, nose high. There doesn't appear to be any type of shutoff valve where the fuel enters the filter. My concern is having a gusher once I remove the site bowl and filter. Is this normal? If so, does the fuel bleed out at the same rate as it drains from the site bowl? I could manage that, just don't want a major fuel spill.
Thanks
