Aspen:Fueling BC Fire Services

Keeping BC's Fire Service Workers safe with virtually no harmful fumes. Aspen fuel provides proven performance and protection for you, your equipment, and the environment.

A Worldwide Leader

Thirty years of refining the cleanest fuel for small engines.

Aspen first developed alkylate fuel for outdoor power equipment in Sweden more than 30 years ago, and has spent decades refining and perfecting the formula. Since its inception, the brand has become a preferred fuel in the landscaping, forestry, construction, and fire protection industries, as well as for motorsports.

A well-known and trusted brand internationally, Aspen has sold over 100 million gallons of fuel across the globe.

Aspen is available in BC exclusively through Star West Petroleum and our retail partners.

The Science

What is Alkylate Fuel?

Alkylate fuel is the cleanest petroleum product that can be produced. It is created in oil refineries by combining excess gases from the cracking plant, resulting in a high-octane liquid that is then mixed with other components and engineered to be used in most small engines.

Protection
For you: With virtually no harmful fumes, Aspen is a cleaner fuel that provides a dramatically better work experience.
For equipment: Aspen is free from ethanol, eliminating the corrosion and residue caused by regular gas. Our cleaner fuel results in cleaner engines over time.
Convenience
Aspen fuel lasts 5+ years when closed properly. Safely store machines without emptying the tank, and count on equipment to start strong every time.
Lightweight, recyclable plastic containers will never rust. And premixed Aspen 2 is always ready to go.
Trusted
“Ness Lake Fire Department uses Aspen Fuel in all our small engines. We have not had to take our equipment in every year to have it serviced from sitting all winter and having gas spoil — a huge savings for us. Aspen is very dependable, equipment starts on the first pull every time. It's odorless so we can store it in the compartments of our trucks. No toxic fumes. I have strongly recommended Aspen to everyone I know.”
Percy Dergez — Ness Lake Fire Chief
