Our Next Zero Journey – Aspen has been a world leader in supplying clean-burning, high-performing alkylate fuels for over 30 years as you know. Read More

Aspen 2 & 4

Ruel for air-cooled two stroke engines and other types of four stroke engines

Aspen 2 and Aspen 4 are virtually free from harmful substances such as benzene and aromatic; substances that can cause serious health problems. Aspen alkylate petrol also keeps the spark plugs and combustion chamber cleaner. Aspen can be stored for a long time without any deterioration in quality, which makes your engine easy to start even after standstill periods. There are numerous environmental benefits, such as reducing the formation of ground-level ozone (smog) up to 40%.

Aspen 2

Aspen 2 alkylate petrol premixed with 2% biodegradable 2-stroke oil, suitable for chainsaws, clearing saws, hedge trimmers, mopeds, lawn trimmers, power cutters and other land-based 2-stroke engines. The oil in Aspen 2 has been selected and developed for the future. It is completely synthetic with as much as 60% renewable content, it is biodegradable (more than 80% after 28 days) and free from both ash and solvents. The oil gives an extremely clean engine and has optimum lubrication characteristics at all engine temperatures.

Aspen 4

Aspen 4 alkylate petrol without oil, suitable for lawnmowers, rotary cultivators, snow blowers, boats and other 4-stroke engines. Ordinary petrol contains ethanol, which attracts moisture, and can cause engine failures. Aspen alkylate petrol contains no ethanol, making it ideal for use in for example marine environments. To use Aspen alkylate petrol in your 2-stroke outboard engine, simply mix Aspen 4 with outboard oil. To minimize the environmental impact, choose a biodegradable oil.

Ordinary petrol is produced during the crude oil refinement process, in which various fractions are processed in different ways and then combined. Petrol is therefore not homogeneous, but a mixture of several substances. Ordinary petrol purchased at petrol stations contains around one hundred different substances, all with different impacts on performance, health and the environment. Many components are extremely hazardous and toxic to humans and our environment. Alkylate is produced synthetically from the pure gases that are released when crude oil is refined. The result is a very clean petrol, which consists of around ten of the least harmful substances, and is therefore virtually free from hazardous constituent components such as benzene, aromatics, sulphur and olefins.
