Always start with the easy , simple & most cost effective solutions , So yes , swap the fuel filter . BUT does the engine feel reluctant to rev ? filter problems usually reveal themselves as not wanting to rev above say half revs .
You can often get a diesel to rev harder when stationary , but becoming gutless when driven as fuel flow is dramatically reduced & unable to meet engine demands.
Also ensure that you do not have an excess of air bubbles in the fuel flow as this can limit how the engine runs .
Avoid listening to tales of woe & great cost for repairs , from my experience KISS Keep It Simple , Stupid ( that's me ! )
