aspen fuel for stoves

[Quixoticgeek]

I'm running low on petrol in my Msr whisperlite internationale stove. I don't use it that often, so fuel tends to sit in the bottle for months on end. Given how little fuel I use I'm pondering buying a litre of aspen 4 stroke fuel to use next, partly to save the argument at the petrol station when I try to fill the msr bottles.

Does anyone else use aspen on their liquid fuel stoves? How does it's performance compare to unleaded? Do I need to do anything to the stove to use aspen?

Cheers

Burns just as hot as unleaded and burns much cleaner.

Good choice. Not too healthy to burn petrol, and should be conidered a last resort. Aspen gives off less fumes and doesn't stink if you spill some. Also shelf life is a lot longer.

It's all I use in my petrol stoves these days. Worth the extra expense for all the reasons above IMO.

Excellent, will pick up a 1L bottle when I pass by the chainsaw shop next.

Check they stock 4 first Julia, chainsaws run on 2 and that's all several saw shops round here carry! I know a couple that carry 4 though so you may be OK. The Aspen site tells you what each dealer has.

Thanks for the heads up, just checked, all the stores locally (nearest is 6 miles away), carry both 2 & 4 according to the Aspen website.
