The manufacturer recommends that you periodically test the filter funnel by adding water to the cup and verifying that it doesn't pass through. Once you've got water in the funnel you can add your fuel. The fuel will pass leaving the water. When you're done you'll find only water and a very thin oily film. I suppose you now you have to figure out what to do with the water. There is only a slight amount of oil left so let you conscience be your guide.
Remember, don't use any type of soap to clean the funnel or in the water. The soap releases the surface tension of water and allows it to pass through the filter.
