Diesel fuel filter water separator


Can anyone explain the purpose of the large plastic screw on top of my fuel filter/water separator? This is connected to my diesel geny and the screw started leaking when the tanks were filled with diesel. The boat is also sloped forward on dry dock for removal of the shafts. The screw is connected to a brass rod that goes into the filter housing. Last night I opened the screw a few turns and it stopped the leaking, no sign of any seepage when I returned this morning. I have changed the filter and cleaned the bottom bowl. Assuming this is for bleeding or ? How do I adjust this for proper operation.
Thank-you
