Works great unless you have a beer or two and forget where you left off... My rule is never leave a job until you are finished.
Your right though >> I have found that if you loosen the filter and let is "breathe" just a bit and then pull the plug it will siphon off the top of the filter... I do this all the time of heavy equipment because they take longer to drain through and tube... But those are much easier to get to than these trucks.
