to awnser the original question, I have been using the Husqvarna 4T fuel in my coleman stoves. No difference to the Aspen 4T or Coleman fuel for that matter.

I very much doubt that either company actually makes the fuel.
When I was first advised to use the Aspen in my chainsaw, strimmer etc. by a ground maintenance guy he said that it is basically just like the old four star fuel with something added to give it a longer shelf life. It definitely runs cleaner than standard unleaded, there's no sign of carbon around the exhaust on my chainsaw after about eight years.

The only thing i have been told is if you start using Aspen in a mower / engine etc, you can't go back to using a petrol mix again. I have used Aspen in both my Hayters for years without any problems
This is absolutely not true

Interesting, I wonder why they told me that, maybe they assume people might swap around, not sure I'd want to restrict myself. Having said its a Honda I'm fairly sure it's a Briggs now after Gafne mentioned it.
@Tazi, I like to use T4 in my stoves and Chelfords local, thank you
I normally buy from is it Ashley mowers, been a long time though!

For info .... I use lawn mowers (Honda, Briggs and Loncin engines) for a living for many years and have never had an issue with E5 fuel (super unleaded)

Nipped into Chelford farm supplies and the Husqvarna was £19.99 and was told it’s the same as aspen 4. Infact i’m pretty certain he said Husqvarna actually make the aspen 4.

Always used Aspen 4 and Aspen 2 in gardening kit . . . primarily because you can leave in the tank over winter without affecting engine etc

£25 for 5l is about right Andy.

I'm not sure if there's any relevance here but we have a Hayter petrol mower, iirc it's a Honda engine, and Hayter told me not to use Aspen. I can't quite remember why, lack of additives maybe. I found that odd as I'm sure the local mower place sells T4 but I've not gone against their advice.

That seems normal to me. The Husqvarna is selling in places for just under £19. Ideal if you’re close by as most do not deliver.

I bought some Aspen on Saturday for my lawnmower, £24 for 5ltr. Is that pretty normal?

Nice one.
Thank you.
Edit - Always used aspen 4 in the pressure washer and never missed a beat but has gotten more expensive these days.
