The other good thing about alkylate fuel is that you can feel a bit self righteous 'eco-wise'. 

 

To avoid the risk of smugness, I offset my green credentials by using mineral based chain oil (and therefore suffer no oil pump problems either, as a bonus*).

I do that too. Far greener to not have to have replacement parts made and transported etc.

Someone who obviously didn't read all the thread and where a few posts ago I said I'd bought an Echo  ?

Not a problem and not knocking it as I've done the same myself.

 

I also rang the person who I spoke to and asked him about Aspen and he said in essence it's the best thing you can use, 95% of their more expensive repairs are on the fuels systems where they don't use it and when he was working it was almost a no brainer to not have a saw's down time.

Second post in . I suggested Echo and Dolmar ?

... is there any difference between the Aspen and Motomix .... only reason I ask they have the Motomix near me and saves me a 20 mile round trip to get the Aspen.

 I've used both, just whichever is easiest/cheapest to get on the day.

 

 Can't tell any difference other than the colour. Aspen is a pissy yellow and Motomix is a dirty grey/green. Stihl use HP Ultra as the oil element and Aspen their own fully synthetic. Both claim to be biodegradeable etc
