Not old wives tales here, just our experience. For long periods of storage, I'd go for the 100% diesel. We had storage problems with condensation of water, and then black algae growing in the bio diesel. We found that there were more problems with the bio-diesel made from animal fat waste, but have had much better service from the bio made from soy oil. We spent a lot of $$ on engine fuel filters, and even replaced a fuel tank on one of the tractors to get rid of the problem. If we were in a drier climate, our experiences might be different. Minnesota laws now require all diesel to be 10% bio, signs on the station pumps say 5% to 15%, and they make no guarantees about the fuel (at least at the B.P. stations). With the low sulfur regulations, the bio adds lubricity which the very low sulfur has eliminated. My son has done some research work for the University on bio diesel. We have run up to 100% bio in our equipment. It does soften some rubber pieces in the fuel system, but improved rubber products (maybe teflon lined?) seem to be able to function reliably.

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
