Green Chainsaw Fuels


TRADITIONAL LOGGERS
 Share

Recommended Posts

Used Aspen before a long time now testing Stihl Motomix. The local supplies place claims the fuel tax is NOT on the product. Think this is not correct due to price still charged. So called Green Chainsaw fuel is still charged from HMRC as normal unleaded petrol and around 70 pence a litre. :thumbdown::thumbdown:

 

Is there someone on Arbtalk who can confirm.

 

We had found a different source in Europe but pointless inporting when unreasonable fuel taxes being charged.

 

Thanks.

Aspen certainly has Fuel Duty added. Its a painful 58p per litre which we would desperately like to lose.

 

Cant say for sure that Motomix does not have it, but in a way I hope they do not. Because if they don't and its legal, then we can get the Tax off Aspen too.

 

But if they do not have it at present but should have it, then they are going to have to add it at 58p per litre which will put them much higher in price than Aspen.

None of the chainsaw fuels could really be called green though could they ? They are still hydrocarbon fuel and part of a finite resource.

Hi,

 

Aspen is the cleanest form of fuel for normal petrol engines.

 

It produces 99% cleaner emissions than normal pump unleaded petrol.

 

Aspen is produced from crude oil so still a fossil fuel.

Hi,

 

I would think you were told that Aspen has tax because we have a bonded warehouse and so show the fuel tax when we invoice the dealer and other suppliers of different fuels my pay the tax at their end and so the dealer won't see it being charged.
