So you did, Eddy.

 

And I have sent them!

 

Obviously Aspen does not improve my memory!

Hi Barrie - I wouldn't mind a few of these stickers, I do a number of conversions and retunes - one recently came back from a dealer with conventional fuel/oil in it with the owner being ticked off for using neat fuel

 

I guess around 15 if you have them.

 

You are a decent fella:thumbup:

 

 

I had been aware of Aspen for some years prior to first trying it, but had no idea what the stuff was like, either in appearance or smell.

 

So one day a non starting HS45 came in. Whilst the guy was in the shop I took the cap off to check, and sniff, the fuel. As you do.

 

" What the hell have you got in here?" I asked. He looked bemused, and said he had no idea, his gardener always gets the fuel.

 

"Well, its certainly not petrol" I said, "It will never run on that"

 

Emptied it and refilled with petrol mix, but it still did not go. A spark test revealed the common coil problem.

 

I only remembered this when I opened (and sniffed) my first can of Aspen, years later. I then felt a bit foolish.

 

So, I can forgive the ignorance of others, I was once that person.

I have become a fuel tank sniffer:blushing: Only way to tell what the owner has been using:thumbup:

It's the smell when using it that still gets me and the looks you get from non enlightened operators who think you must be running on pixy juice.

You can tell when someone uses cheep Tesco fuel-it stinks!

I get my aspen at £15 a can if only buying a few and cheaper in bulk I know the guys at my local shop well now and get good deals first used it for carving in my unit and now I use it in all my husqvarna equipment. As a small point my colleague and I bought a 550xp at the same time as a General saw I use aspen and he used pump fuel. Over the past 15 months both have had extensive use but mine seems to start effortlessly and picks up like it was new whereas his is very slow and when co marring the plugs mine is a lot cleaner and nowhere near as much carbon in the cylinder. Lab test by any means but has sold me completely. Aspen may be dearer but its safer and I feel it definitely gives more life to your tools. Winner all round for me. And it smells awesome.
