At the bottom of the fuel filter, there's a small drain you can unscrew.

On mine the pipe just sits, doesn't plug into anything other than the bottom of the filter. I think it's to direct the drained fluid away from the engine bay and into a container below (driveway  )

Mine works, as in you unscrew the little valve and it drains from the bottom, and there's an indicator on the dash if it needs doing??
In fact it also works on the MU. What's wrong with yours?

Well I can't see what there is not to work, it's a butterfly nut with a hole through it !!
If you get water in the tank through being in a climate with a large temperature chance so that there's condensation in the tank or bio to clear some of the black sludge out which accumulates, to drain in case of getting petrol in the system.
Don't see it as usless myself...
