6.7L fuel filter drain ???

How far do you have to turn the valve on the bottom of the fuel filter to drain fuel from it? I opened it up quite a few turn and got nothing out. I continued to open it up until fuel started running out around the valve but was still not getting anthing out through the drain hose so I shut it. I'm wonderin if the valve is clogged or if I am just not opening it far enough.
