Aspen chain oil

Hello, 

This one is for the retailers of Aspen.

I need to know just what the vegetable oils in Aspen chain oil are and their source.

 'Bit of a rumour flying around that Iceland is not stocking Aspen chainoil'

I hope this is not because it is made from rendered down Orangutans...

 In a senior moment I topped up the fuel with Aspen chain oil, swilled out the fuel tank and refilled.

A little smokey with a distinct smell of grilled fish... weird.

What are the perceived advantages of Aspen bar oil & its use I can understand the possible advantages of the fuel ( never used it as commercially we use to much & within the time frame of pump fuel )Aspen fuel price would be prohibitive but even bog std reclaimed oil works with tacifier & the passed sell by date is a long time hence

Making Aspen dealers richer unless I am mistaken, we also get through far too much of it to stray from the 205 ltr barrels supplied by  @Rye Oil Ltd. Shameless plug for you Jon :)

Hi Al,

 

The Aspen bio-chain oil (new version came out this year) is designed to provide optimum lubrication to the chain and oil pump. compared to many bio chain oils (including the previously available Aspen version) Aspen bio chain oil can be left in machines for a much longer period without hardening or causing blockages within the oil pump. Previously, domestic customers in particular have been put of from using bio chain oils from this reason and this product allows them to use it instead of mineral oils (we all know why they are bad). 

 

I do admit that the benefits of the Aspen chain oil compared to something else on the market are not as big as the difference between Aspen fuel and regular petrol however, which is a night and day improvement in terms of emissions and ease of handling.

 

Aspen being too expensive to use commercially however, i would strongly disagree with. You can't put a price on health and most companies end up surprising themselves on how much fuel they actually use when they switch to Aspen. More often than not, it is far less than they thought in the first place, making it not as expensive as they first thought.

Thanks for your reply The boss man abucussed the numbers & found the price difference was sufficient of a no go we get our fuel mix & bar oil from an independent company of blenders (Ex ELF Guys) so the the "Brew is tailored to suit conditions Our fuel is E free so that's one less problem
