Well, the first question is what are you hoping to gain by running bio? Right off the bat, B20 (if you are running it) will give you about a 5% power loss. Are you running a detergent additive? You should consider it. I"ve seen nozzle flow rates reduced by 20% on commercial B20 without the use of detergent. Stop by your local JD dealer to pick up some bio additive to keep your fuel systems clean.
The recommendation is to turn your fuel supply every 20 days as a safe guard when running bio. Are you running a 2 micron bio approved fuel filter at your tank to catch any "growth" that might start since I doubt you are going through 300 gallons in a month?
As you start to do research, you will find more questions than answers and every "has an opinion." You know what the cost to replace your fuel systems are. Is it worth any risk?
Oh, and back when the world switched to ULSD, there was a big scare about the lack of lubricity (which proved to be false). In the event you feel you need more lubricity in your fuel, just run the stanadyne lubricity formula additive. It works pretty good.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
