That could indicate there is a problem with the water separator.  Either it needs to have the water drained out or the circuit is no longer functioning properly.

Is the GP light blinking with a regular beat or is it a bit irregular ? If irregular, it could be the GP relay is faulty and that could lead to early failure of the GP.

it's a regular beat, the gp work fine because t does take them long to heat up.

This would be my guess. Have a look at the fuel level sender. The wires for the water separator are right there
