Better way to change rear fuel filter on 2016 Cummins?

Open the drain for awhile. Remove the water sensor connector. Remove the whole sensor assembly. Put a garbage bag around the filter and remove it.

You can buy a longer hose for the front drain and tuck it out of the way.

Does anyone know a better way to change the rear fuel filter (water separator) on a new generation Cummins without getting showered with diesel fuel?

I've done it twice now and always get a lot of fuel pouring out when I loosen the filter. I open the drain prior as required, but it seems a lot of fuel remains somewhere.

BTW, don't have a lift, can only do it on my back on the ground.

It has a spring loaded check valve. Unscrew it a couple turns before opening the drain.
