By running BioD, the previous owner saved wear & tear on your IP & injectors not to mention kept everything clean. BioD is a cleaner & a great lubricant. I would run at least a B5 or if you go back to D2. I run an additive like Power Service Diesel Kleen, 1oz-3gal mix, or you can use something similiar.
BTW, you get the best bang for the buck at B20.
