Fuel stabilizers?.

To be honest I don't see how many chemicals are in something has any baring on how dangerous a product is. Surly it is down to what they are and what quantities they are in. Sorry Eddie I am sure your product is safer than petrol but just saying it has less chemicals means nothing to me.

 

If the fumes from petrol engines are so dangerous do lots of commuters who spend hours sitting inhaling the fumes from the car in front die each year due to related illnesses?

Hi Woodworks,

 

You are right, but the fact pump fuel is classed as Toxic and Aspen is classed as Harmful must prove one is better than the other.

 

Small engines (chainsaw or Lawn mower) are far less efficient than a car engine with fuel injection, ECU, Catalytic converters, Exhaust gas recirculation etc...

 

1 hour mowing a lawn is the same as 300 hours stood behind a car.

 

Add to this the fact at a 2-stroke engine dose not burn all the fuel and so you are also breathing unburnt fuel.

 

Aspen was specifically designed to help the Swedish forestry workers who were suffering from inhaling the exhaust from their saws.

 

Please see the full details on what chemicals are in Aspen and what they are on our website.

 

You can always give me a call 07568 108953

 

Kind regards

I have heard that, but have yet to find any spec sheets to back this up.

 

Stihl and Husqvarna both state that their full synthetic mixes and blends have a fuel stabilizer, as do many other brands.

So does this mean we don't have to ditch our 1 month old mixed fuel as some recommend?

Interesting that the Briggs and Stratton fuel stabiliser was re-forumulated to work better with the 5% ethanol fuels that we all love to hate. I don't see anything to suggest that the better 2t oils have sufficient stabiliser in to make it storeable for many months. Or am I missing something?

Traditional stabilizers, AKA StaBil does nothing for preventing ethanol reacting with air and forming water, or whatever it does. So a reformulation makes sense.

With all that wood in your avatar, who has time to let fuel sit?
