Aspen type fuels

[jarborist]

Not mentioned much but there's health benefits too. There's at least anecdotal evidence of arborists and cancer and also research supporting the association of benzene etc with cancer. If you haven't come across the arborist/cancer issue it doesn't really register as a thing. Once you hear about it there's a few. Another reason to switch if that's helpful .

Not least the emissions are often pretty close to our faces.

That was one of the things Roughhewn used to always say.

I switched to Aspen for that reason. Felt hanging after a day on the saws. Don't get that with Aspen.

Never really had fuel problems as many discribe, but i do toss mixed fuel if its been in can longer than two weeks. K

Where do people get rid of old fuel? Ethically and environmentally speaking I’ve not found anywhere local to me that will take it!

Burn it. All the extra transport, materials, work etc involved in disposal, recycling etc is far worse for the environment.

Go on, Mick. Up with the Mad Max memes.

My brother says that but I haven't noticed. Whereas I find the normal 2 stroke smells weird now I'm used to Aspen.
