Aspen alkylate gasoline for heat tools

An alkylate formulation to limit engine fouling

Traditional fuels such as SP E5 or SP E10 tend to degrade rapidly, especially during prolonged storage. This deterioration generates deposits in the fuel system, which can lead to:

• start-up difficulties
• carburetor fouling
• a drop in performance

Alkylate gasoline is based on a process ofAlkylation, which involves synthesizing hydrocarbons from refining gases. The result is a fuel with a very low content of aromatic compounds and less 0,1% benzene.

This composition allows for a cleaner combustionlimiting the formation of soot and carbon deposits, elements responsible for premature engine wear.

"Clean combustion reduces internal deposits and directly contributes to the longevity of internal combustion engines."

Improved stability during periods of inactivity

One of the major challenges for users concerns the winterization of equipment. Unlike conventional fuels, Aspen alkylate gasoline has a prolonged stability :

• up to 3 years in an open container or tank
• up to 5 years in a sealed container

This stability avoids the need for draining before storage, simplifying equipment management for both individuals and professionals.

In the context of green space maintenance, this allows, for example, a community to quickly put a lawnmower or chainsaw back into service after several months of disuse.

Preservation of the components of the fuel system

Aspen alkylate fuels are ethanol-free and free of harsh solventswhich limits corrosion phenomena in the circuits.

This feature protects several sensitive components:

• carburettor
• spark plugs
• gaskets and hoses

By reducing the risk of chemical degradation, gasoline helps maintain the initial performance of the equipment and limit maintenance interventions.

However, a nuance must be made: the quality of the fuel does not exempt one from regular engine maintenance (filtration, cleaning, checking of mechanical components), which is essential to guarantee the overall durability of the technical work.

Emissions reduction and improved operating conditions

Aspen alkylate gasoline is classified non-CMR (non-carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic) and contains significantly fewer hazardous substances than standard fuels.

It notably features:

• up to 100 times less benzene
• a reduction in exhaust fumes
• an absence of noticeable odor

These properties improve working conditions, particularly for professionals repeatedly exposed to exhaust fumes when using thermal tools.

In certain sensitive environments (residential areas, public establishments), this reduction of nuisances constitutes an operational advantage.

Two formulations depending on the engine type

Aspen 2 for two-stroke engines

Aspen 2 is a ready-to-use fuel incorporating 2% 2-stroke oilIt is intended for equipment such as:

• chainsaws
• brush cutters
• taille-haies

This formulation avoids dosing errors and guarantees suitable lubrication, regardless of the conditions of use.

The oil used is partially derived from renewable and biodegradable materials, which limits the environmental impact of operations.

Aspen 4 for four-stroke engines

Aspen 4 is an oil-free alkylate gasoline, suitable for four-stroke engines:

• lawnmowers
• tillers

Its composition facilitates restarting, especially after prolonged periods of inactivity, and ensures stable combustion.

Integration into professional and regulatory practices

The use of cleaner fuels is part of a global evolution of practices, particularly in public procurement and specifications incorporating environmental criteria.

Some local regulations or ecological transition policies encourage the reduction of polluting emissions related to thermal equipment.

In this context, alkylate fuels can constitute an intermediate solution, in addition to other alternatives such as the electrification of equipment.

A design office or a technical manager can thus integrate this type of fuel into an overall equipment fleet management strategy, depending on usage constraints, costs and environmental objectives.

Aspen alkylate gasoline addresses a real problem related to the maintenance and durability of motorized tools. It helps to limit fuel-related breakdowns and improve operating conditions, while also contributing to a reduction in environmental impact, provided that the equipment is used correctly and regularly maintained.
