I am certainly no expert but doesn’t water sink to the bottom?
If you have been doing the fuel water separator drain on a regular basis and this is the first time you have had the result in your picture, then I would have to guess you got a bad load of fuel at your last fill up. To me that's a lot of water. If you have not notice and issues with your engine, then the filter and separator are doing their job. That said, I would have the fuel filters changed out. Even though I have never got any water in my samplings, I still had my fuel filters changed twice now. First at about 8600 miles and again at 30k miles. There are many who may say I am wasting money, but I see it as prudent preventative maintenance. Oh, check your fuel cap, especially if you frequent car wash places.

I have mine changed every 15k miles, or every third oil change.
I always drain it prolly close to once a month maybe a little longer and have never had anything in it. I do run a fuel additive since new hot shots edt maybe it did its job and helped separate it. I will run a fresh tank or 2 through and change the filters. I did notice it was a little sluggish but since than it has went back to normal
Ford reprogramed my fuel pump now I can't change my filter.
Always checked my fuel water separator every month. Ford reprogrammed on a recall two weeks ago. Time to change my fuel water separator filter and when I opened the valve it would not stop dumping fuel. Used to dump out about a gallon. Today it dumped out 5 and still pouring out. No water in fuel but I've never filled up a 5 gal bucket before..... Any ideas?

What year truck? What was the recall? I haven't seen any fuel pump recalls.
