I've always installed it between the tank and the primer bulb, and that's what's always been recommended to me. I recommend the kind of water sep filter that has the clear bowl at the bottom for draining. I've used both and prefer the drain bowl type by quite a bit. Always use the best quality (i.e. expensive, 10 micron, 99% removal) ~ $20 ea. rather than the cheap ones.

JWB is right on if a Carb motor.

If Ficht fuel injected it would be an issue the EMM has detected. This is similar to the Check Engine light in your car. In that case the EMM would need to be hooked up to a computer to see what the trouble code is.
