Product Information
Full details
Greenstar Aspen fuel is an alkylate gasoline designed for owners of 2-stroke outdoor power equipment who prioritize engine longevity and reduced environmental impact. This ready-to-use fuel provides a cleaner combustion process that significantly reduces harmful exhaust emissions and prevents the gummy deposits associated with standard pump gasoline. While it carries a higher price point than conventional fuel, its extended shelf life and stability make it an ideal choice for seasonal users whose equipment may sit idle for long periods.

FAQs
Can I mix this with normal petrol?
It is not recommended. Mixing with standard petrol will negate the benefits of the alkylate fuel, such as shelf life and cleanliness.
How long can I store this fuel?
If stored in the original sealed container in a cool, dark place, it can remain stable for up to 3-5 years.
Is this suitable for my 4-stroke engine?
No, this specific product is pre-mixed with 2% oil and is intended strictly for 2-stroke engines.
Does this fuel contain ethanol?
No, Greenstar Aspen is ethanol-free, which protects your engine's rubber and plastic fuel components.
Why is the 2% oil ratio important?
The 2% oil ratio is the standard requirement for most modern air-cooled 2-stroke engines to provide sufficient lubrication to the crankshaft and cylinder.
Troubleshooting
Engine fails to start after switching to Aspen.
Ensure the fuel tank was thoroughly flushed of old pump gasoline; residue from old fuel can occasionally clog filters during the transition.
Visible smoke from exhaust.
If the engine was previously heavily carboned, the cleaner additives in Aspen may loosen deposits; continue running the engine until the exhaust clears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using this fuel is straightforward; simply ensure your engine is specified to run on a 2% (50:1) oil mixture. Before switching your equipment to Aspen, it is recommended to drain any remaining pump gasoline from the tank to get the full benefits of the cleaner fuel. Store the 5-litre container in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Always ensure the cap is tightened securely after every use to maintain the fuel's integrity. When pouring, use a clean funnel if your equipment has a narrow intake to avoid spillage.
