Sounds like you have got water in the filter for the light to come on, have opened the drain valve on the bottom of the filter.
Regarding running but no grunt, sounds like a blocked fuel filter, could be the filter in the engine bay or the one in the tank on the end of the pick up.
Have you used any biodiesel as this can cause any gunk in the tank to be disolved into the fuel and block filters.
Thanks

Went around yesterday and drained the fuel filter, is blocked up and needs replacing. Plenty of fuel being sucked through to the engine but yhe pump can't even force any fuel through to the fuel line to the engine. :mrgreen:
