start with the least obvious, and make sure it has fuel in the tank... that will definitely set a fuel filter warning.

wouldn't think of suggesting it if it hadn't happened to me before

Filter housing could have bit the bullet if the filter o-rings are good. It is something fairly common and there is a filter housing rebuild kit available to fix the problem.
