Aspen Alkylate Fuel

[166]

So this stuff is starting to come into the US. I may place an order to see how this stuff works.


It's available in 1 Quart containers and 5 Liter (1.3 Gallon)

Aspen 2 for 2 strokes and Aspen 4 for four stroke engines.

Pricing will be inline with VP and TruFuel.

Anybody here outside of the US using it?

I have used it, but you already knew that. The 3rd line down is in Norwegian

It is supposed to be excellent quality, from what I have read.

From regular gasoline to aspen is dangerous. Burns all the carbon build up. Decarbon piston an cylinder first.

What about a slow transition, mixing in aspen at increasing amounts over the course of several tanks?

It's brand new to the states.

I’d give it a shot mixed with an oil of my choice. [emoji106]

Looks like I'll be switching from Red Armor soon

If I use it, I'll probably buy the 4 cycle stuff and make my own mix.

It's been around for quite some time in the uk,, I will find a thread on it.

and there is a but about carbs don’t like being used on petrol first, weather it’s the ethanol in petrol it or not I don’t know, it changes the flexibility of the diaphragm and stuff. The carb will need to be retuned just a little

apparently it’s long lasting stuff ie does not go stale like petrol, burns cleaner, better for health Etc. I will say no more about it than .......

its more than 4x the price of petrol in the uk, that’s why I don’t use it.

you can skim through, or what ever you like..or even just put aspen in the search box like I did
I got bored reading about ages ago.

It`s good stuff. I have used both of it already and I`ll do so for the future, too. If you work in the forest in Germany, no matter as a professional or a private firewood cutter, you have to use alkylate fuel like Aspen and bio degradeable bar oil.

I googled it says it stays fresh for 5 years!
I'm in the pump fuel here is utter rubbish.
Fuel that works in 2T's like fuel used to years ago should be able to get it down here in about 10 years if at all lol

Does the 2 stroke fuel come already premixed with oil? Or is it just fuel only?

I would think it's premixed already if I had to guess. It says 2% on the jug which would be 50:1.

 

[DND 9000]

The Aspen is availible as Aspen 2 (2 stroke fuel mixed 50:1 with fully synthetic oil) and as 4 cycle fuel without oil. There are also some higher octane Aspen fuels for racing availible. Aspen+ with 98 octane and Aspen R (Racing) with 102 octane.

Cool. TY

Hallo, dont quit use Red Armor, the best You can do If you are going to use Aspen is to bye the blue can and mix With oil.
The orange can is ready mix With Aspen oil 50:1 But it can not compete With red armor. Trust me. We have had Aspen in Sweden for more than 15 years.
