Sam Turners have been proudly stocking Aspen since 1992 - one of the earliest UK providers. Aspen is an alkylate fuel. The name comes from the word alkylation, which is the name of the process by which the raw alkylate is produced. It is a synthetically produced petrol component,made in oil refineries. Alkylate is formed from the excess gases produced in the distillation of crude oil and oil cracking.

ABOUT ASPEN FUEL

THE BENEFITS

Aspen alkylate petrol is virtually free from sulphur, benzene and solvents making it less harmful than regular petrol. You are breathing much cleaner air when working with your power tools and with these ingredients removed, the odour produced is minimal freeing you from the headaches this can cause.

Aspen keeps your machines protected in use and in storage, starting easier, giving maximum performance and staying fresh for years. Regular petrol contains ethanol which is known to cause harm to small petrol engines. Aspen is ethanol free thus extending engine life and reliability.

Aspen contains significantly less harmful and toxic hydrocarbons which therefore reduces the impact your machinery makes on the environment.

THE USES

Garden Maintenance, Landscaping & Forestry:

First and foremost, Aspen offers perfect performance for machines such as lawnmowers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, brush cutters, leaf blowers. These sectors currently make up the main volume of Aspen used in the UK, through both domestic and professional users.

Construction:

Did you know that a chainsaw running on ordinary pump fuel emits as much benzene emissions as 57 cars? Benzene is a carcinogenic substance and as an operator of these types of construction equipment, it is important for your health to avoid exposure as much as possible. Aspen fuel is virtually benzene free and by simply switching fuel, you can reduce the number of benzene emissions from your machine by up to 108 times! Available as a pre-mixed 2 stroke fuel. Aspen can help avoid the most common and expensive mistake when using 2-stroke machines. Forgetting to add oil to the fuel mix.

Marine:

Did you know that 25% of the fuel from thousands of older outboard motors remains unburnt and goes straight into lakes, the sea and waterways? When you use Aspen alkylate petrol, you reduce harmful hydrocarbons in emissions by up to 99%. It might sound incredible, but the figures speak for themselves: Using regular petrol results in 300 times as many pollutants ending up in the water compared to when you use Aspen. Aspen alkylate petrol is not just cleaner, it is also a more efficient fuel. In addition, it keeps 10 times longer. You don’t need to empty the tank over the winter and the engine will start more easily when the time comes to launch your boat.


Model Building:

Aspen alkylate petrol is the ideal fuel for models with petrol engines. Virtually all petrol models use two-stroke engines. Aspen alkylate contains two 2% fully synthetic oil of the highest quality and stays fresh for years resulting in easily starting and clean running engines. Aspen also has the advantage that it is virtually odourless. This means when the models are transported in the car or worked on at home, there are no nasty fuel smells. For models requiring a specific oil or mix ratio, you should use Aspen 4 as a replacement for petrol, and mix according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Camping:

Aspen 4 works brilliantly in all types of stoves and lanterns which are designed to be able to work on regular “pump fuel” or multi-stove fuel. The bonus is an increase in performance, no smell due to much less toxic emissions and less maintenance on your stove/lantern. In addition to your camping stoves, Aspen 4-stroke is suitable for all 4-stroke garden machinery, generators, camping stoves and lights that run on liquid fuel petrol, 4-stroke model machines and much more! It is ideal for long-term storage.
