On the 6.0 power stroke , i know how water got in there and the water in fuel message is on can i just remove?

the 6mm plug first and drain the water , before i change the filter ? maybe i don't need to change the filter?On the 6.0 power stroke , i know how water got in there and the water in fuel message is on can i just remove?Yes, you can drain this water out but do it at the bleeder valve.Should be right next to the fuel filter.Looks just like a tire valve but bigger.Its messy cause it will spit fuel as well but you should get it to run first in order to keep the lines from getting air in them.If you get an air locked fuel line you will be bleeding that system forever to keep it running right.

Also I would strongly suggest that you change that filter no matter what.It is very likely that there is water trapped in that filter and if it gets back in the fuel system your are going to have stall out issues and it will run like crap.Just save yourself the grief and change it out as soon as you clear the lines the best you can.On the 6.0 power stroke , i know how water got in there and the water in fuel message is on can i just remove?Go ahead and pull the filter off, you are going to have to at least fill it with fuel before you put it back on, if you just drained it, it is possible it would lose its prime. Good Luck
