Taking a multi meter to the plug shows that I'm getting 5v (there or thereabouts), could it just be a defective fuel temperature sensor? Or is there anything else I should check out?
Thanks.

If the fuel temperature rises above 85°C, the ECM reduces the amount of fuel to the injectors to allow the fuel to cool, this will cause your loss in power.
5V is the correct baseline voltage and it is monitored by the ECM. If a fault is logged the ECM reduces the fuel pressure to a predetermined default value. If the deviation between fuel pressure and temperature exceeds a "set point" the ECM can further curtail the injector performance or in some cases even shut the engine down and prevent it starting again.
If you can't resolve it at the elec connections then it's a new lp return line, as the sensor is not available separately. yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

I once had the same error. The sensor was leaking and has then pressed fuel into the plug. This triggered the error then. Pull off the plug and see if there is everything okay and especially dry

Thank you both!
At least I know I’m on the right path to getting it sorted.
When it comes to the sensor itself, am I mainly focusing on the 2 pin electric connector or is there more to it than that?

Yes that's it, the actual sensor is in the the return line.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ
