Murphy power equipment galway.

I'd hazard a guess it's the very same stuff with a different label. 

 

100% not the same, Aspen is the original alkylate fuel and produces all of its products in house.  It is a common misconception that Aspen produces fuels for other brands but this is not true.

Hi Stubby, 

 

Raw components are sourced externally but the all important steps of testing the materials and blending/packaging is done in house to maintain the highest quality control.

So could it be possible that other company's product ( Husqvarna " power " Stihl " motomix " and this other " Murphy " one ) could come from the toppish part of the same refinery as the Aspen fuel ?

Sounds like when you buy Shell or Tesco Fuel. Its all came from the same Refinery, just different additives.

Hi Stubby,

 

Yes that's correct, petroleum alkylate which is the main ingredient in these fuels are all produced in similar ways.

 

Sourcing the raw alkylate product is the first step but other additives are needed for your machinery to perform at their best. The quality of the 2-stroke oil and the accuracy of the mixing ratio is extremely important as not only does this effect the emissions which the machines produce but also the reliability and service life of the components.

 

As far as I'm aware, Aspen is the only producer which keeps track of each batch it produces on top of randomly testing the fuel throughout its stages in production to insure that the customer receives the best product.
