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

What happens here

The presenter introduces the experiment, aiming to demonstrate the differences in residue left by various fuels after burning. He explains that it took him two years and multiple rejections from companies to figure out and contact information about this topic. With an assistant, "Frankie," they proceed to pour approximately half a capful of different fuels onto individual white ceramic plates. The fuels include standard pump gasoline (both mixed and 4-stroke), and various brands of pre-mixed, engineered fuels like RedMax MaxFuel, Stihl MotoMix, Echo Red Armor, Husqvarna Fuel, TruFuel, VP Pre-mixed, Aspen 2, and Aspen 4. As each fuel is poured onto a plate, it is immediately ignited with a long-reach lighter, and the plates are then lined up to burn.

Goal: Prepare samples and initiate the burning process to observe residue.

Tools and materials

  • fuel jugs — Containing pump gasoline (pre-mixed and 4-stroke), gloves Unknown
  • Aspen 2 — Alkylates fuel comparison, Aspen 4 (ethanol-free 4-cycle fuel) Aspen

all right frankie what i'm going to show you took me two years to figure out and i contacted at least three four companies and i was rejected none of them wanted to show me this and then i kind of discovered it on my own and what we're going to be doing is showing you the differences in fuel from all of the major different companies so frank if you want yeah if you want to just take a half a cap full of fuel we're going to pour a half a cap full of each kind of fuel on these plates no more than a half a capful there we go we got those two are burning move these back and this is actually going to demonstrate what is left in your fuel let that one burn off after it's done burning no more than a half a capful we want to try to keep it as equal as we possibly can all right guys so this is an actual visual demonstration and this is actually going to show you the differences in the fuel that the fuel companies did not want you to know okay frankie what is this one right here so that is frankie's pre-mixed fuel and this is pure four stroke right here right that's pump fuel okay so what's what we're demonstrating here is what i've learned is there's four different levels of fuel there's your pump fuel there's your non-ethanol pump fuel then there's what's called an engineered fuel which is this bottled stuff here and then there's the next level which is an alkaloid fuel okay and so what we're looking at is when we
