Which Aspen Alklyate Petrol should I use?
Aspen 2 should be used for two-stroke petrol engines
Many hand-held machines, such as chainsaws or strimmers, have a two-stroke engine. These types of engines require oil to be added to the fuel in order to lubricate the moving parts.
Suitable for land-based 2-stroke engines including:
Chainsaws
Power Cutters
Hedge Trimmers
Clearing Saws
Aspen 4 should be used for four-stroke petrol engines
Many larger machines, such as lawnmowers, have a four-stroke engine. These types of engines have a separate oil reservoir and do not require oil to be mixed with the fuel. If you are unsure what type of engine your machine has, please refer to the handbook or check with your local stockist.
Suitable for 4-stroke engines including:
Rotary Cultivators
Lawn Mowers
Generators
Outboard Engines
Aspen is for anyone seeking a solution to the problems associated with regular petrol for the sake of their health, their engine or the environment. Both private individuals and professionals can buy Aspen at an Aspen retail outlet.
