Water in the fuel usually is a result of buying fuel from a low-volume station that has a low quantity in stock and it is near the bottom which sucks up water/debris with the fuel. Newer systems do a great job of filtering but a rural, less-successful station may not have the newer equipment. Also, condensation in the winte from you running low on fuel consistently will produce the same effect. There is a product that you pour into your fuel supply and it de-waters the gas. ( its called "Dry-Gas" ). But if you follow, the screen filter in your fuel system can have wate setting on the top of the screen and when you accelerate, the water tries to push by it and therefore, "spudder" or jerking. I bet your car idles nice and smooth ( as a Volvo can ). Good luck, opinions are like belly-buttons.....everybody has one.
