Light sputtering under heavy throttle - '95 E300D
The car has always ran very well, smooth as glass. Lately though, it's sputters a bit under acceleration. You can barely feel it, and the rpm gauge makes the slightest of moves. Possibilities?
1) Bad tank of diesel? 2) The new low-sulphur diesel? 3) Injector issue? Anyone know or have a good guess?

Another possibility is dirty fuel filters.

Fuel Filters? I'd suspect those first, because under heavy acceleration it needs the most fuel, on those higher-tech engines a fuel issue could cause sputtering...on the old ones it just makes them go slower.
Edit: Two members with the same suggesstion at the same time alert!

Bad o-ring starting to suck a lil air into IP under heavier acceleration?

Also a very good suggestion, you'll know if its the o-rings for sure if it becomes hard/impossible to start after sitting a little while.

I'll do fuel tomorrow - I'm probably due and it certainly is cheap insurance.
