New Saw Fuel From Aspen
Aspen Fuels has recently launched in the U.S. market, bringing its premixed high-octane Aspen 2 (for 2-stroke engines) and Aspen 4 (4-stroke) gasoline to professionals. Aspen’s products are engineered alkylate-based fuels, which are one of the cleanest petroleum products that can be produced. As clean fuels, Aspen provides a much-improved user-experience, particularly for chain saw operators, compared to pump gasoline and other engineered fuels.
Aspen’s fuels are engineered to be cleaner and virtually free of many of the harmful hydrocarbons found in standard gasoline that impact equipment performance and user-experience. In fact, Aspen first developed alkylate fuel in Sweden with the objective to improve working conditions for forestry workers who were suffering from various health problems including headaches and nausea from frequent chain saw operation.
According to Ulf Augustsson, who works as a Forest Engineer with the Swedish Forest Agency, “You notice the difference immediately using alkylate fuel when operating chain saws without the headaches, without the gasoline smell. Other than feeling better, you also notice the benefits for your equipment and you can store the product for long periods of time.”
Furthermore, Aspen is recognized for its lower environmental impact as a cleaner fuel with Aspen 2 having fully synthetic biodegradable oil.
In North America, Aspen 2 is premixed for use in chain saws and can be purchased in quarts, 1.3 gal. or larger drums, ideal for professional users. As an engineered fuel, Aspen is offered at a competitive price, offering superior value to customers.
