Default 190d losing power

So today I had a job interview for Banker's Life in Hagers Town. When I was on I-70, I noticed that my car jerked forward, then slowed down...then repeated. It happened exactly like the time when I almost ran out of fuel a few months ago...but right now I've got half a tank left. When it was losing power today, it was at high speeds about 60-70mph, more noticable uphill. What could be the issue?

>Also, a month ago I stopped at my mechanic to see if he could find where I was leaking coolant (that problem is fixed; new thermostat) but they did notice that I was leaking fuel near the engine. Dunno if that has anything to do with it...

Well have u replaced ur fuel filters and since the car has low miles you might want to replace all the fuel lines. Also have u run diesel purge or another diesel cleaner in it?

Owned That was too funny. I should have mentioned diesel though.

No I haven't ran a purge yet. How would I change fuel filters, like where are they located and how many of them are there?

Good advice! I'd definitely put my money on a clogged fuel filter.

As sleepwalker he can tell u i have no experince with 190d or 190e. You did not need to say diesel the "d" should have indicated it to anyone worthy of responding

another thought, if you are leaking fuel, you could be sucking air.
