Cummins probably removes the bed to access the fuel filter just like he removes the intake duct to access that pita oil filter. :B
Ha... that is one way to keep diesel fuel off of you!
I just buy some sections of hose (forgive me, I forget what size ID they are), and extend the drain longer and into a bucket. Open the drain valve/water separator and start to loosen the filter. All the fuel drains down the hose and into the bucket. While that is draining, go to the front filter and do the same thing.
Once the front filter starts to drain, go back to the frame mounted filter and finish removing it. Put the water sensor on to your new filter and install the new filter. Then go back to the front and finish changing that one (make sure not to pinch the o-ring gasket when you screw the lid on).
Once everything is tight, go prime your engine.
