Aspen fuels

Looking to try out some of the ethanol free aspen fuel. Been using the husqvarna XP oil along with regular unleaded but as its rich in ethanol can cause issues with the 550XP. Husky tech said to use high octane fuel. Seen the aspen 2 50:1 ready mix and the aspen 4 fuel needing to be mixed with a decent synthetic oil. Can anyone give me their thoughts? Cheers

I have plenty of 2 stroke oil. Is the 4 stoke fuel ok to mix with the XP oil?

The fuel used in 2 & 4 stroke ( Gas) engines is good for either; the difference being the 2t is mixed with oil for engine lubrication there has been long discussions on the pro's/ con's of alklyte fuel. I work for a commercial logging company & for us the price of premixed fuel is much to high ( for the amount we use ) + in France the essence ( petrol ) contains no ethanol So we use 95 ron fuel mixed with 2T oil at a ratio of 40/1 others will have different views on the mix ratios, your XP oil will be fine in pump fuel, better still if it's E free

Absolutely fine.

 

Husky XP oil is a fully synthetic biodegradeable oil, as is Aspen's FRT oil. Mixing your own with Aspen 4 won't save you any money, but will work fine.

 

I used Aspen 4 and mixed with Stihl HP Ultra, as I didn't like the smell of Aspen's oil, no difference in performance/cleanliness etc. I now used Stihl Motomix as it's available locally and saves me mixing my own. HTH
