I bought some biocide a few years ago, and use a little occasionally, last fall I had an extra 5 gallons of summer diesel that was not treated that I stored over winter. When I went to pour it in the tractor this spring it clogged the fine screen funnel that I use with some slimy stuff. So, this year again I have extra summer fuel so it has been treated! I don't have anyplace to buy fuel near where I use the tractor so I keep at least 5 gallons on hand all the time, the JD 4600 burns about a gallon per hour. The place where I buy fuel has winter diesel available in mid Nov. so I drain the tractor and refill with winter. I am gone down south Dec-Mar, but I want it ready to go in March. I keep some winter fuel treatment on the shelf but I prefer to buy winter diesel, which should be straight no 1 but is usually a blend, as no 1 is a lot more expensive. I do add 2 oz of 2-stroke oil to every 5 gallons of fuel for pump lubrication. I have been doing this for 18 years, 1160 hours on the tractor, no problems, it's all cheap insurance!

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
