They are shoving the Ethanol down our throats and it ruining our saws.
I'd like a choice. If they thought about it they would just make the more expensive stuff here and make even more money from us.
I looked at their little refining chart below.

And since i was the guy making gasoline at the refinery i just retired from i will explain it in english. They are starting with the light ends (vapors) from the top of the crude tower which is the top tray of the refining process. All the light stuff, gas, kero, diesel, lp gas goes up the tower. The heavy ends go down, ashphalt, bulk dist (used for gasoline) go to the bottom to be used in another unit of the refinery. They say that their gas contains no benezene, or sulphur thats because they stay below in the heavier oils. Then the vapor which they are using goes thru some trim fans and some coolers to be turned back into a liquid as it is cooled down. Our refinery used that same product to control the temp of the tower to help with the different splits of oils, diesel, kero ect. They (aspen) just pull the vapor, cool it and send it off to another unit for final processing. Just thought i would help with refining 101...Bob

opcorn:opcorn:Well i emailed and PM'd Mike Acres so we'll probably be hearing from him.
In Western Pa., Sears sells "40 & 50" fuel (40:1 and 50:1). It costs like $5 a quart so I havent tried it.
Well i guess we are all happy with the ethanol blend we are using so why would we need a choice. I bet the fuel line business is booming and carb rebuild kits are flying of the shelf.
NO.
There are two domestic sources for good fuel for our O.P.E. First is the most known, TruFuel. It's very good.stuff, but yhe per gallon price ($20-$25) may be cost prohibitive. The second is SEF (small engine fuel) made by VP racing fuels. SEF can be purchased in larger quantities, up to 54 gallon drums. I personally have no experience with SEF but VP has a good reputation in the racing communities.
I spend a few days a month milling with a CSM for an average of 4 hours. I go through around 3 gallons of fuel. My real problem with the stuff we are using is that it doesn't burn to clean and I end up breathing it all day. That said, I've heard that Aspen2t burns cleaner. I wouldn't know because its not available in the US.
I guess the price per gallon thing isn't my problem. I just would like something that burns clean. Does the Trufuel or the SEF burn clean?
