Possibly a stupid question, does it have a Carbon Particulate Filter???  May need changing or clearing if it does...

joined the AA today and had a word with him.  he said he was called out to one the same and the light coming on was due to contaminated fuel.  apparently alot of it going round at the moment.
I have bought some new plugs today and my son in law has cleaned out the coil pack a bit.  See how that goes ::)
I love this car but its proving to be a right pain at the moment ::)
What is a carbon particulate filter and how will i know if it has one :-[
Sorry about this but not that knowledgable of cars :-[
