One reason I use Aspen

I'm now a year down the line from getting my first batch of Aspen. I'm probably not the biggest consumer out there as it's only running in my saws, which only I use. As a freelancer, I have always run my own fuel to avoid the hazards of other people's mixes. The problem I had with pump fuel was that if I spent a fortnight doing silky reductions, my fuel was going stale. If I was running low on one mix, I had to mix a separate can up. Aspen's storage life and guaranteed mix solved these problems for me. I have had to paint big red A's on my fuel tanks to stop people filling them up with their own mix though!

 

I've been through about 110 litres in the last 12 months, over that time I've spent an average of £1.40 per working day on Aspen. Hardly a bank breaking amount!

 

The saws are all running nicely, I haven't needed to change any fuel filters as there's no gunk or crap going into them. I'm not getting 2 stroke induced headaches or feeling groggy at the end of a long day and the truck doesn't fill up with petrol fumes on a hot day. I make no extra trips to the filling station, I go to get fuel once every eight or nine weeks. Nor do I need to mess about mixing or checking levels, or worrying about which 2 stroke oil is the best.

 

The only issue I've had is what to do with empty cans. I've now found a (nationwide) company that will recycle them for me, so I'm sending them off when I've got enough to warrant a collection.

 

I can't see myself going back to pump fuel now, for me the future's orange (cans):D
