Aspen type fuels

[gobbypunk]

So I just had 2 saws in the shop with new petrol problems and the mateys in the shop were saying that the only surefire way around fuel going stale and jelly like etc is to use an Aspen type fuel but at £20 for 5 lts its expensive so Why is it so expensive I would use it all the time but milling with it would be soooo expensive so what can we do as an industry to make things better .

Smash everything, dismantle all government control.

Return to living as hunter gatherers, start breeding Pugs and Tibetan terriers for bitey missiles than you can put in a trebuchet at incoming marauders.

Introduce intelligent monkeys to mainland Britain teach them how to use bows and arrows, then start a war with them just for shits and giggles.

The only motorised vehicle allowed is a Hillman Hunter estate.

 

When I think of other ways to makes things better I’ll post them.

I'm using Stihl Moto-ix in my milling saws. Yes it's expensive, but I hope to recover that money on the milled product and the fact that if I don't touch the saw for a year (unlikely) it will be ok and run faultlessly. So less spent on maintenance. 

It's a tough call, unless you search out the other 0% ethanol products.... and they still go off.

Kirsty and Phil to be made to do the walk of atonement to the Red Keep.

 

The Post Office utterly blown to smithereens.

Old people in chemists to instantly clear out of the way for young virile men who need their Paracetamol/Nurofen for their hangovers. This is to be signaled by the shout “taxpayer in pain, out the way you coffin dodgers!”

 

All other languages to be banned in all forms, only English to be spoken worldwide.

I've been using fuel stabiliser in all my fuel for quite a number of years with no issues, I just automatically add it to any petrol that I buy as some machines can lie for long periods without use.

There are many brands but I use Ethanol Shield.👍

I just bought a 200L drum of Motomix for £400+vat, so £2 a litre.

And how much is the "cheaper" option of pump fuel actually costing when you factor in the 2 stroke mix and regular trips to the mechanic?

All this stuff about mixed petrol going off 

in weeks is bullshit. 
Excuse the heavy breathing, heavy head cold, so off work.
