I call bull on the "cleaning" bio-fuel does. I have a 930 Case that the tank was cleaned, all new fuel filters, injection pump and injectors done..
I have roughly 50 hours run time on the tractor since the work. I bought a quantity of bio, and fueled the tractor and never ran it a lot after that.. Guess what? about 5 months later the tractor won't start.. can't get fuel through the lines.. get the tank and lines cleaned (again), filters changed (again).. Now, the rack and plungers are stuck in my inline Bosch pump..
Buy bio fuel if you like.. thats up to you.. What I suggest is to put some in a clear container, put the lid on it, let it sit, and watch what happens! Don't see nothing? Well, uncap the jar and take a whiff.. It'll smell awfully rotten after a few months.. something settles out of the fuel.. and if it does it in a clean jar, like it did to me, then tell me about the "cleaning" bio does..
Oh, and it's funny the colors it changes a plastic fuel can too..
I will say, however, I am guilty of running bio in my pickup on a semi-frequent basis (1986 Ford) and never really had a problem. Did have a filter plug up once, but can't prove that was due to the bio.. could have been, but didn't have to be..
I was told bio just don't have a "shelf life".. and I'd say I found out the expensive way.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
