aspen petrol.

[MattyF]

any one tried this stuff???

Do you have to mod your saws?

Im seriously considering changing to it health benifits alone,but running bio chain oil as well would be a good company gimmick

[Lee Winger]

Twice or even 3 times the price of regular petrol Matty..

[Craig Johnson]

its about twice the price, but the health benifits are great, takes about 3 or 4 tank fulls to clean to old **** out of the saw, and most saws will need about a 1/4 turn on the low jet, as its got none of the fast burning slovents in. some of my old saws had to have carb kits when we switched as it does not swell the rubbers like pump fuel and they shrunk back and split. once you've cut a stump down low in a shrub/against a wall you'll not switch back.

I wouldent use it on heavy use cutting contracts because of the price, but for tree surgery work, its great. I first used it in sweden about 12 years ago, good stuff.

Sean Reilly from Equipment supply services sells it, not a terrible price either 07768 762 012

[Dagmar]

I use it regularly along with bio-oils, some places that I'm contracted to are certified organic so insist on it, the bio-oil anyway! I have no problems with aspen in my saws and they are quite old. I've never heard of any complaints apart from the price, but its not too bad.

[Craig Johnson]

or you could get it form me, 5 liter can rrp £11.05, but i can do a deal and free delivery if you want 50+ cans

[Quickthorn]

Just out of interest, is duty payable on aspen, like it is for pump petrol?

[Craig Johnson]

yep and full rate at that

[High Scale]

They were all using it at the carving at Westonbirt.

[Lee Winger]

I won't be using it unless it becomes the same price as unleaded or the contract stipulates that I use it
