It could be. It could be a lot of things. Bio, winter, bad diesel.... clogged fuel filter if issue up high in rpm. It could be something with nothing to do with fuel quality too. No CEL?

sitrep it went away after a new tank of gas. And yea no cel. Just a pending particulate filter cel which further pointed to bad diesel. I got it in Amarillo. B19

High RPM on a diesel for a period of time could also be attributed to passive regeneration to clean-up the DPF. How high was the the RPM and how many miles on the odometer?
