What happens here

The presenter then delves into the practical aspects of using these different fuels, focusing on cost, storage life, and health benefits. He compares the price per quart of Stihl MotoMix and Aspen 2, converting it to cost per gallon (Stihl at approximately $35 per gallon, Aspen 2 at approximately $22.36 per gallon). He explains that once opened, standard pump fuel degrades quickly (within a few months), while alkylate fuels can last for 2 years opened and up to 5 years sealed without gumming up carburetors. He highlights the health benefits of alkylate fuels, noting they reduce exposure to harmful fumes (less eye irritation, cleaner skin), making them preferable for extended use, especially with equipment like chainsaws and trimmers. He also touches on the problem of incorrect fuel-to-oil mixing ratios when using pump gas with oil additives, which leads to engine wear and failure, unlike the consistent 50:1 mix in pre-packaged alkylate fuels.

Goal: Understand the long-term benefits and costs associated with different fuel types.

but now when you start to go with something like this you're always to the 50 to 1 mix always that's really impressive is this right here that four stroke is completely clean dry i mean this one is a little gummy but not bad open it up open this up once this is like unreal gin clear take a look inside of there it has a different smell too right so there was a guy that was doing chainsaw carvings yeah and at the end of the day i talked to him and he we used aspen too for the first time and he goes i got it he says to me i got to tell you he says he takes off his mouth takes off his helmet takes off his gear and he says this is the first time that i've been able to carve all day long and not feel like his eyes were his eyes weren't red his skin didn't feel like it was coated in slime you guys get you know you guys know that feeling if you did this again you'd have twice the soot on that plate you just look at that i mean that's just unreal i mean you can you see that okay but you know that's just unreal your injectors yeah right no more additives no you don't have to use additives just burn this fuel through it it'll start i mean it's not meant to clean your engine but if you're not contaminating your engine it took me two years i was rejected by multiple companies they yeah a lot of companies were like oh yeah we'll do a video with you and i'm like what are you how are you going to prove your results oh we'll just talk about it no no no i want something where i can visually see the differences and they all turn me flat down flat down turn down and when i figured out how to do this test on my own i'm running this independently i'm actually going to be buying i think i think i ordered three 55-gallon drums of this wow and one 55-gallon drum of aspen too that's impressive i'm not messing around i mean it's i can hold it for five years i mean and the weight the weight we might not have gaps that and or it's gonna cost there's rumors that diesel is going to go up to ten dollars a gallon okay see you uncle tom see you chris all right thanks uncle tom i hope you guys thought it was a nice test too that's all right guys i realized that i had measured out all of the engineered fuels those cans those uh fuels in the can and i was pretty precise about that half a capful and frankie measured out the pump fuels the premix premixes premix and the four stroke of his and i don't know if he had gotten it precisely at half of a cap full so to make sure that i had this whole…
