Using a diesel additive like Lindeman Total Care can help clean the fuel system and improve performance, but it's important to first address any mechanical issues such as a clogged fuel filter. Try replacing the fuel filter first, and then consider using the additive as a preventive measure. Let me know if you notice any improvements or if you have more questions.

Check the fuel filter for any clogs or dirt, as a restricted fuel flow can cause jerking during acceleration. If the filter hasn't been replaced recently, consider doing so. Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
