One reason I use Aspen

[Eddy_t]

Could do with some leaflets at my local dealer so I can take one to show my boss why we shouldn't keep using old crappy fuel so I don't have to keep fixing everything!

This is very interesting and more than a little concerning. I would love to have seen that machine myself.

 

I know that you have used Aspen for a while now Pat, have you had any trouble before, or in any other machines?

 

Normally when a technician sees a residue of any description in a fuel system he will clean the whole fuel system out and refill with fresh fuel, so when your guy cleaned it the first time, what did he refill it with?

 

Did the second clean fix it, or were there any other faults. In other words was the stickiness the problem, or was it only noticed during a repair?

 

I probably have more experience of Aspen than any other member of this forum and have never seen anything in the way of residue from it. In fact I have a test machine that has had Aspen in for 18 months and no sign of any residue.

 

Sorry to ask so many questions, but I would really like to understand this.

 

It was my local Stihl dealer who is also the person I buy the aspen off and after he cleaned the system he refilled it with fresh aspen and the residue returned so he is going to clean the system through and were going torun it on normal husky low smoke.

I have not had this with just Aspen i will ask the men from Sweden when I see them on wednesday. Just some quick questions.

 

Are you using aspen2 or aspen4 with your own oil?

 

What colour is this sticky residue?

 

How old is the machine?

 

Do you use aspen in 5 litre cans and pour from can to fuel tank or use another type fuel can?

 

I sould have something for you on friday.

 

Hi Eddie thanks for the reply:001_cool:

Using aspen 2

No idea what colour

the machine is about 3 years old

5 litre can and no other fuel used in it for atleast 18 months maybe even 2 years.

Bit of a mystery then Pat. Keep us posted if you find the cause.

Good fuel management , even of pump petrol, could have saved this problem we saw on a mower today.

 

A large quantity of water had settled out in the bottom of the steel float bowl. Where did it come from?

 

It could have been bought from the petrol station with the petrol, this does happen.

It might have been rainwater entering the can or the mower tank.

Or it could have been water attracted into the petrol by the ethanol content.

 

Lesson. Check your cans for water, it is easy to see in the bottom. Never drain your cans right out into the machine tank.

 

Or better still,(as this is my Aspen thread) do as this owner is now going to do, use Aspen, which comes on clean, sealed cans and will never draw in water.

The most common cause of water in a tank is condensation and you will get that with any fuel and any tank, petrol, diesel, hydraulic........
