Why would there be? The seperation is done by gravity. Diesel floats
on water, so the water collects on the bottom of the bowl, where it
can be drained out the handy valve on the bottom.

Actually, that isn't quite the case. In a modern Full Flow Diesel/Water
Seperator Fuel Filters, the water comes out on the Input side of the
Filter Surface, and then gravity moves it down into the Bowl at the
bottom of the Input Side of the Housing. If you hook the Canister
up backwards, the water moves to the bottom of the inside of the Filter
and saturates the filter material, as more water builds up, untill
the Filter plugs with water completely. At that point you don't get
any fuel flow at all.
