Aspen vs unleaded

[Ty Korrigan]

I am wondering, if my chippers 37hp efi engine would run any different on Aspen.

I'd do it out of curiousity but only once. 4.5litres or €23 per hour on Aspen is just over the top...

I put some Aspen 4 in my log splitter recently ( coz I could not be arsed to drive round to the garage and get pump fuel ) and it ran perfectly but with noticeably less fumes .

So if you had the Aspen with you anyway what was it for if not the splitter?  Coffee substitute for breaktime?!

 No ....? I mix it at 50:1 with Red Line 2t oil for the saws .

Charge £20 more per day?

Surely it's only 10 quid extra a day. He'll have to buy unleaded anyway?

Am I the only one that hates the smell of Aspen? Recently trialed it with a new Husqvarna hedge trimmer and the smell is so sickly it makes me feel ill.
I'm not hating on it I genuinely like the idea behind it but I can't stand the smell from the 'fumes' off it.

.... but you like the stink of regular unleaded and 2 stroke?? [emoji1]

Great to see so many good posts in this thread, i hope it encourages some of the people who are still sitting on the fence to go out and give Aspen a try.
 
Regular petrol really is nasty stuff [emoji879]️[emoji88] and the UK Arb/forestry industry hasn't done enough to educate workers about this up to now. Luckily more and more businesses are seeing the benefits and making the switch. 
 
I have a meeting with the treasury at the end of this month with the aim of reducing/removing the road fuel duty on Aspen fuel, there are some great quotes i will likely use from posts within this thread in my presentation! fingers crossed!
 
 
 
 

Any news on the meeting at the Treasury?

Hi Stoke wood

 

Whilst nothing concrete came about from the meeting, the people i met with did seem much more interested than the people in the same position which i met with 3 years ago. They agree that it is odd that red diesel duty is subsidised but Aspen which has health benefits and should be encouraged does not. Until a brexit outcome is decided, we appear to be in somewhat of a deadlock however as there is a strong reluctance to make any changes in policy until we know the outcome.

 

The fight continues and we certainly wont give up on this!

OK. Thanks for the update. Our local MP is Mel Stride, who is/was a treasury minister. He represents a very rural community (mid Devon) so should be receptive to a letter from my good self!

Great idea! the more people we contact, the higher the chances of finding someone who will help us
