This is just my opinion:
Bio seems to have a VERY SHORT shelf life.. Used to run it in my truck/tractor regularly.. But, tractor sat a while, the bio separated and gunked up pump/injectors/filters/lines.. The pump had about 100 hours on a rework.. then I paid to have it reworked again.. That 10 cents a gallon I was saving DID NOT pay off when I dropped 1200 for the second pump rework.
I will no longer buy it that is one reason.. The other is locally, it is now more expensive than plain diesel..
I have heard that bio plugs filters more frequently than regular fuel.. Can't say this is fact or fiction.. The only time I have changed a fuel filter on my pickup due to plugging (and not part of normal servicing) it had something in it that appeared to be same as/similar to the gunk I scraped out of the filter housing and fuel tank on my tractor when the pump had to be reworked..
No matter what you buy, someone always has good luck and someone always has bad luck.. When it came to bio-fuel, I had the bad luck.
