fuel drain?

I stopped working at Ford, retired, the year these things came out and while I could diagnose anything on a 7.3 I don't know squat really about the 6.0.

Can someone tell me where the fuel drain is on an 03 F-250 4x4 with the 6.0? Or does it have one? It looked like a fuel filter on top next to the oil filter but not sure.

It's a friends truck and it's suddenly started having problems starting when cold and running rough for several minutes once he does get it started.

I told him to change the oil since it's been 7000 miles and have the dealer service all the filters on it.
I would have done all of it but I'm too busy working on all my farm equipment right now trying to get ready for haying again.

there is a small filter next to oil filter, and there is a bigger filter with a drain plug located on the frame rail below the drivers seat. If his truck is 2wd it is easy to get to if its 4wd the front drive shaft is right where you want to be. It isnt that hard just a little awkward.
