My stihl won't run on Aspen - problem solved

[GardenKit]

I am guessing its down to larger filters in the system. We all know that filters need changing on cars.

 

We assume that it is crud and water that blocks them, maybe some of it is dissolved polymer.

 

The motor industry is having to develop new materials for fuel systems because of ethanol, and vintage vehicles are suffering.

 

I have a vintage motorcycle club buying Aspen 4 for their bikes as apparently the ethanol in modern petrol eats away their metal fuel tanks very quickly.

Why doesn't the problem manifest itself in motorbikes and cars same as it does in chainsaws ?

Hi, from the interest in Aspen at the Classic Bike Show last weekend I think bikes that are laid up for winter or part of collections are having real problems with pump fuel. Most cars on the road are fuel injected and so have sealed fuel systems. These seam better at dealing with modern fuel.
