Water Seperator Drain

When you drain the water seperator where does the fuel/water come out? I know where the lever is but the manual doesnt tell you where to locate the catch can?

Thanks

On my 2003 it is right there below the lever. I have a piece of hose I shove on the end so it does not make a mess all over.

That's odd, must be another "cost cutting" measure by mother Daimler.

Previous years it came with a length of hose that terminated right above the front differential (if so equipped, don't know where it ended on the 2 wheel drive flavors)

I think mine has a hose on it; but it still drips on the ground whenever that little lever is moved....

There is a hose there. I had only read the manual and it had no mention of where to put the catch can. Thanks,

On the ground of the fueling station where I'm currently re-fueling.
