What the BIG FUEL companies DON'T WANT you to know

What happens here

After all the fuel samples have completely burned and the flames have subsided, the presenter and his assistant carefully examine the white ceramic plates. They visually compare the amount and type of residue left behind by each fuel. The alkylate fuels (Aspen 2, Aspen 4, Stihl MotoMix) consistently show minimal to no residue, leaving the plates almost perfectly clean. In contrast, the standard pump gasoline samples and many of the 'engineered' pre-mixed fuels leave a noticeable dark, gummy, or powdery residue. The presenter emphasizes that these residues would accumulate in an engine, leading to contamination and potential issues.

Goal: Visually assess the cleanliness of various fuels after burning.

and so what we're looking at is when we do this demonstration we've got the red max here this is what's left in your engine so this is a half a capful and this is what this is what's going to be left behind in your engine after you're done burning it this is aspen ford though this is a pure four stroke this is mixed fifty to one this is pure four stroke this is aspen two which is a pre-mixed same as the red max this is a mix to a fifty to one then we have steel and then we have your echo red armor here we have husk varna here now this is called true fuel this is kind of that fuel that's at your big box stores right you're going to find that at wherever you know your cheap boxers this is vp and this is that high performance fuel that if you go to a small engine shop or something like that you're going to probably find a pre-mixed fuel with a name brand like this then they're also going to offer you this and then here is frankie's premixed and here is frankie's four stroke right there so what's that frankie okay so really what we're demonstrating is what's left behind in your engine and the reason that we as we look down the line at the difference in results is the difference in the fuels themselves these are an alkaloid fuel there's only two companies in the united states right now that sell an alkaloid fuel one is steel and the other one is aspen so you're looking at this going this is what's left behind but
