In the UK, there is normal fuel duty on Aspen. Lobbying the European Parliament wouldn't get you anywhere, since it is a matter for the member state (UK) to change duties. In Sweden, there is no duty on Alkylate fuel (Aspen as well as other brands), and hence it is not as expensive. Furthermore, it is mandated by health and safety regulations that employers supply Alkylate fuel for use in hand-held machinery. This obviously means that a lot more Alkylate fuel is being used, driving the price down and availability up further. Aspen (2T and 4T) is even available at some pumping stations.

Thanks guys!

I will chime in, too. Google understands mail like nobody else. Google Mail (GMail) has never failed me. Your mails do not end in other people's spam, and the spam filter is very efficient in filtering any spam that you receive. And it is not too difficult to set Google Mail up to work with a custom domain email address, although it will cost you a little (Products ? Google Apps for Business | United Kingdom).

I am fairly confident that it IS heat related, as the problem occurred after refuelling while milling, and went away after leaving the saw for a while. I am not sure where to measure/set the "flywheel to ignition module gap". It's obviously on the flywheel (doh!), and I might figure it out myself by taking off the recoil cover and having a look. Do you, by any chance, have a picture/illustration illustrating the "flywheel to ignition module gap"?

It happened to me, even with decompression pressed in!

Ropes dry a lot quicker when daisychained, which is how I was them too. Prevents the ropes from getting tangled, and ensures that air/water gets to every piece of the rope.

Here is a video of Gränsfors Bruks ax making Gransfors Bruks Axe Forge Tour - YouTube They also do training courses, where you will learn about ax-making and end up taking home an axe that you made yourself, see Courses | Gränsfors Bruk Gränsfors Trivia: - Each axe is marked with the initials of the ax smith that made it. - Find out who made your ax by referring to the Ax Book Yxboken - Engelsk - Two of Gränsfors Bruk ax smiths are women

Correction! The ART Positioner does NOT care about the flipline being covered in tree sap, unlike friction knots.

You could also spend a lot more money, and get an ART Positioner, that will release under load. See Wirecore Flipline with ART Positioner I use this setup, and it's nice. It does care about sap on conifers like a friction knot does (prussic, distel, VT, ...). (But as mentioned, you'd need a cut-away strap on the ART-end crab for rescue purposes - the picture does not show one)

I believe, as long as it is a B2B (Business To Business) trade, you are not "restricted" by the usual consumer protection laws, thus allowing the business customer to agree to "unusual" terms.

Get yourself a wet grinder with a jig, that can hold the blade and ensure a consistent angle. A good choice is the Tormek T3 Tormek Wet Grinder T-7 T-3 I believe the planer blade jig would be suitable for holding most chipper blades: http://www.tormek.com/en/jigs/svh320/index.php

Have you ever tried the aluminium Distel Gecko spikes with velcro top straps? They are very lightweight and adjustable length.

Not a scary climb as such, but a scary experience while climbing. This Monday, while taking down a spruce, chugging down the stem, I found myself about 30ft up, with my only attachment point being my throwline clipped into my Caritool! The stem was covered in ivy, and I had been fighting it constantly. I guess that is what threw me off. The attached image is from that very job/incident. I feel quite lucky to be alive and well, right now!

I guess, for low value orders, you could provide an option to your online ordering forms to "Ship by Royal Mail at your own risk of non-delivery". I guess most people would be happy to save 25-50% and take a risk of 5% (say) of non-delivery. But obviously, you need to cover your admin costs as well (order processing, packing, packaging materials, shipping etc).

Yes, the bolt is likely a left hand thread. At least the sprockets on petrol saws are held on by left hand threads, and I don't see any reason why electric saws should be any different.

Look closely on below his feet. It's not a person standing by the side of the road, unless he has impaled himself on a pole (or should I say stick ).

If you hit a stone, it saves you a lot of strokes. If you normally need 3 strokes, you only need 2 now. Still a saving. You won't know what you are missing out on, unless you try SaveEdge files!

And if my suggestion were to be implemented, the "What's on your bench" forum might be your first stop. No difference. But the idea is dead

I did NOT suggest that Spud would be responsible for a new forum, or be an administrator or moiderator in it. I simply suggested that a new forum category would be created that would cover equipment repair, and chose the "What's on my bench" title for it. The reason for my suggestion (as I described in my original post) is that, while a thread containing 5.400 posts is entertaining to follow, it makes it near impossible for users to search when looking for assistance in how to make certain repair by searching postings on similar problems. This leads to many new posts in the forum about problems that have been answered countless times already. Furthermore, I don't see why a separate forum section created for equipment repair would limit the ongoing and entertaining anecdotes and banter between the frequent posters of this forum. I realise that the arbtalk forum is primarily a social media, and not a Q&A or how-to reference, but I also know that it is being used to search for answers to problems, and if a minor reorganisation would make that easier, it would make it more useful for more people, cause less redundant postings to be made (repeat questions). But it is evident from the replies to my original posting that there is no support for my suggestion, from neither administrators/owners nor frequent posters, rendering the idea dead

Get a GSM alarm system with a PIR (movement) sensor, that sends a text message, and sounds alarm, when movement is detected (or a door sensor it tripped) while the system is armed. All it needs is a SIM card. Many available, e.g.: [ame]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-burglar-CONTROLERS-1OUTDOOR-WARRANTY/dp/B001SC6M9C[/ame] GSM Alarm System | eBay You can also look at one of these past discussions on the subject from this very forum: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aarbtalk.co.uk+alarm+gsm

Maybe upload a picture?

Brand? Model? Hard to tell without knowing

I will repeat: My Bad. Sorry. (although your first response was a little snubby )

My bad! Sorry
