2 stroke oil

[Woodworks]

To be honest Beau, whilst I accept your point, I have not had similar comments from any of my many regular users. I guess everyones sense of smell is different.

 

Also, if the Aspen you tried was the stock you bought from me a few years ago then it was the old formulation.

The new Full Range Technology formulation has a totally different oil, thus a different smell.

If it was only the smell putting you off, then maybe try some of the new FRT.

 

It is only the oil content that gives the smell, the actual Aspen fuel is completely odourless when burning as can be proven when sniffing a 4 stroke exhaust burning Aspen 4.

 

So it would be feasible to use Aspen 4 and use your favourite flavour of two stroke oil, such as Redline.

 

Yes I did buy it a couple years back.

Aspen. Zero odours. Although my local supplier has adopted a policy of not supplying it so having to use stihl motomix at the minute - has an acrid smell to it and can be a bit smoky. Not as good esp. up close when climbing.

 

Wish I could get Aspen mail order but not in ridiculous quantities.

We can supply Aspen by mail order in minimum quantities of 3 cans, which is not an overly large quantity.

 

Its just the delivery charge which hurts at £24.00 inc vat.(not highlands and islands) Aspen can only legally be shipped by carriers approved and trained for inflammable goods.

 

Standard, cheaper, carriers would not transport it if they knew what it was, although I know some online suppliers of Aspen are shipping it this way, which is really a bit naughty.

Should such a carrier find some in his system it would be impounded and not delivered.

No offence but I think the price of Aspen is an outrage; completely unacceptable until gov remove the RFD.

 

what would the price of it be if there wasnt RFD?

It would be just under £3.00 cheaper for a 5litre can, Stephen.

Or roughly the cost of one cappacino.

We mix 800ml in 20ltrs of fuel and it goes in everything. I know its over the top but we genuinely have never had any engine issues.

800ml to 20l must smoke like a b&&h

Its what stihl recommend if using other oil. ( bottom of the page). As said never had issues or smoke.

So I would be safe enough mixing 1 bottle of red line oil (473ml) into a 20 lt jerry can. For use with a Husky 390 and 2 x 266??

If that comes out at 50: 1 then yes .

[CallumA]

400ml would be 50:1 but a bit more lubrication couldn't hurt right?

We use this Product: CARLUBE 2 STROKE MOTORCYCLE OIL

 

Not had any issues with it in over fifteen years and its under a tenner a gallon at our wholesalers.
