Check engine /Malfunction light

Driving my 2003 frontier to work on the highway and the light started to flash and i felt the speed drop.
Pulled to the side and switched off and it returned to normal. Driving again about 10mins the light started to flash again.
After reading the workshop manual they say that the fuel filter has accumulated water and the switch is also connected to that same light.
I have to wait till evening to drain the water to see if that is the cause.

I usually drain the water during each oil change but didn't last time since the rain was fallin and darkness started to take over.

This ever happend to anyone?
