Bio helps provide some of the lubricity lost with the switch to ULSD years ago. I have been using it in my diesel pickups for years without trouble and my circa 1995 Deere utility tractor uses it also with no problem. My soon to be delivered 40KW standby generator will also be running a bio blend.
Your biggest issue will be it has higher cloud and gel points than non-bio and vehicles designed for higher concentrations will generally have a larger capacity fuel heater at the filter. Bio diesel is a little better solvent than straight diesel and an older fuel system first introduced to bio will likely need a filter change fairly soon for the first cycle.
You have probably run bio before without knowing it because it has been prevalent in most of the market for over a decade.
I hate "farmer gas" ethanol fuel but I am fine with bio diesel (which also makes far more sense economically and environmentally than the ethanol laced garbage fuel).
