One reason I use Aspen

[Rough Hewn]

Buy barrels mate, it's cheaper and no mountain of empties.

Everything that'd normally run on mix is on aspen in our yard and has been for at least 4 years now. The only thing on pump fuel is the stump grinders.

Why the change? Health benefits etc? 

 

You run aspen and bio chain oil then?

Health has part to do with it as I was suffering from migraines and started to put together that it was often after a high fume day so made the switch initially for hedge cutting as found that was a frequent trigger then just for everything.
Conviniance is another part as there's always fuel in the yard when we need it and saves lads having to call in or worse go out of there way to pick up fuel on the way to the job saving time and wages, we don't have to run tanks dry if a machine isn't going to be used for a while and they always start when they are picked up again.
Plenty of people I know have had problems with auto tune saws getting upset and running badly on pump fuel but we have never had any problems and I put that down to consistency in fuel quality.

I get it in barrels and just use a hand pump, a bit cheaper and no plastic cartons to get rid of,

My local dealer is dropping aspen due to selling husqvarna xp fuel. Are they the same? Do i need to find a new supplier? I run all my 2 stroke on aspen but unsure about the husqvarna replacement? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

At least we know the oil quality in the Husqvarna fuel is very high quality, from a company that produces thousands of two stroke machines, how many two stroke engines does Aspen produce?

On the husqvarna site it says xp is for saws over 55cm3 . Some of my kit is smaller. Anyone know why they specify for larger saws?

If there's no noticeable difference between Aspen and husqvarna fuel, does the same apply to the stihl version. I'm wanting to switch to Aspen, but would be just as happy to use both the stihl and husqvarna varieties if they are all basically the same.
