Higher octain versus lower octain. I'll keep that in mind, as my tractors are diesel except the ol' AC-B that I mow around the house with, and the plugs do get sutted up. Hmm. Maybe I oughta try higer grade than regular 87 octane. I do know this...in the company truck, I always used to run premium until I got into trouble with the accountants whom said I was wasting company money, but I always noticed and maintained went further on a tank of gas which offset the cost...I figured. And I do have a Dodge Garage tuned up beater '94 V6 Dodge pickup that just flat out runs like garbage on regular, but runs a world of different on the higher octane premium. Got me, but premium(er) gas it will be in my gas.

I'm going to give premium a try in the ol' B. She's a dang good little tractor. "Ol' Reliable" I call her, and have used her to pull start a couple of much much larger diesels a couple of times when the batteries were too low to turn them over good enough on some real cold days. Was like a chihuaua leading groggy labradors around by a leash until they woke up. 6VDC and all, she sure is "Ol' Reliable". Thanks Vet.
