Is is a massive waste of time and money or what?

 

I was going to buy some to put in my saw/lawnmower when it wouldn't be used for a good while... months...

 

What does everyone reckon?

I use aspen in all my saws,Stihl,echo,and my only husky,the3120,they all run lovely on it.

Waste of money..no,in my opinion, The last saw mentioned does drink fuel when you work it hard,and hence costs to use it on aspen compared to pump fuel,but sod the cost it works for me.

Give it a try and see how you feel.

 

The 3120 can sit in my hot tin shed for a good month or two and still come out sounding like a dog on steroids, and run without a glitch.

i use it all the time now, you have to shop around for a good price, the cheapest was £14.50 including vat, the most expensive was £17.50 +vat for 5ltrs. that was 6 weeks ago:thumbup:

Don't really get this Aspen price thing - provided your not running at a loss it will be getting booked as expenditure.

 

Been using it for years. I only do arb not forestry and reckon it adds between 1 and 2% on the cost of a t/d for example - piss all.

Use it all the time and you'll notice the difference when you spend all day on the saws worth the price and the had nothing but good service from dealer and Aspen guys. BTW I get mine for about £15 for 5ltrs but dont expect it to be a big selling point to customers bt for your own health it is worth it.

Thanks guys - that's helpful. At the moment I'm not working enough to warrant a big drum of it but I'll certainly be getting a gallon for and giggles.

 

Cheers...
