What this problem usually is

Diesel fuel system complaints have a pattern of their own. Many are waiting on a recall part that isn't available yet. Others describe the truck stalling or losing power, a fuel smell in the cab, trouble right after refueling, or a diesel particulate filter that keeps clogging. Injector replacement comes up often.

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 0 of 34 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
