Bought 2 cans of the Husky fuel 3 weeks a go . It was the 4 not the 2 as I still mix my own at 50:1 because I still have quite a lot of redline 2T oil left .

I had to turn the L screw out about 1/8th turn and speed the tickover up on my 135 when using Aspen 2.  A 5 litre can last me ages as I don't cut loads and I pay £19 same price as the Husqvarna version as it is a pain when the place I buy from always ends up scratching about for change. I bought a Husky combi can as well because I'd hate to spill any at that price.

This sort of attitude from a dealer/repairer really winds me up as it such just goes to show how totally ignorant some technicians are.

Aspen certainly is not 'crap' but some repairers certainly are.

 

As said by others, there are slight differences in vapour pressure and density between alkylate fuel and pump petrol, just as there are differences between different brands of pump petrol.

 

Its really not difficult for a good mechanic to make the slight adjustments for a machine to run on Alkylate fuel, or to repair the problems with the machine prior to converting to alkylate.

 

I have converted thousands (really) of customers machines to Aspen and have staked my business reputation (and hence my livelyhood) on this product. It certainly has not let me down and I would never willingly return to using pump fuel in my workshop.

Looks like I’m going back to Aspen then, thanks for all the info & advice
