For tree work
Alkylate fuel is not only a cleaner and more efficient fuel for the tree work industry, but it also has much less poison than traditional fuels. This means that it can help reduce the risk of lung cancer and other health issues associated with exposure to harmful chemicals. By making the switch to alkylate fuel, you can not only improve the performance of your equipment, but also promote a healthier and safer work environment for yourself and your team. Give it a try and see the difference for yourself!
For landscaping
Alkylate fuel is a much safer option compared to regular gasoline. It contains significantly fewer harmful chemicals, making it a better choice for both the environment and your health. When working with equipment, keeping it at shoulder level height can further reduce the risk of inhaling any harmful fumes.
For lawn care
Alkylate fuel is a cleaner-burning alternative to traditional gasoline that can help reduce ground-level ozone. It produces fewer emissions and contains fewer harmful chemicals, making it a more environmentally friendly option. By using alkylate fuel, we can help improve air quality and reduce the negative impacts of air pollution on our health and the environment.
For construction
Alkylate fuel is a great option for small engines working indoors. It is a cleaner and safer alternative to regular gasoline, as it emits fewer harmful fumes and has a longer shelf life.
2T alkylate fuel for your Stihl chainsaw
Alkylate fuel is a high-purity, clean-burning fuel commonly used in small engines, including chainsaws. When switching to alkylate fuel, you may need to make slight adjustments to the carburetor settings on your Stihl chainsaw to ensure optimal performance. Here's how you can adjust the carburetor for alkylate fuel:
​
Steps to Adjust the Carburetor for Alkylate Fuel on a Stihl Chainsaw
-
Prepare the Chainsaw:
-
Ensure the chainsaw is clean, and the air filter is free from debris.
-
Drain any remaining fuel from the fuel tank and refill it with alkylate fuel.
-
Start the chainsaw and let it warm up for a few minutes.
-
-
Locate the Adjustment Screws:
-
Find the three carburetor adjustment screws on your chainsaw, typically labeled L (low speed), H (high speed), and LA (idle).
-
-
Initial Settings:
-
Start with the standard initial settings for the carburetor screws:
-
L screw: Turn clockwise until it seats gently, then turn it counterclockwise one full turn.
-
H screw: Turn clockwise until it seats gently, then turn it counterclockwise one full turn.
-
LA screw: Set to the recommended idle position from the manual.
-
-
-
Adjusting the Low-Speed Screw (L):
-
With the chainsaw running at idle, turn the L screw slowly in 1/16 turn increments.
-
Adjust until the engine runs smoothly and accelerates without hesitation.
-
If the engine stalls or runs roughly, adjust the L screw slightly richer (counterclockwise) or leaner (clockwise) until it stabilizes.
-
-
Adjusting the High-Speed Screw (H):
-
With the chainsaw at full throttle, use a tachometer to monitor the engine's RPM.
-
Turn the H screw slowly in 1/16 turn increments to reach the recommended maximum RPM (check the manual, typically around 12,500 to 13,500 RPM).
-
Listen for a smooth engine sound without high-pitched whining. Alkylate fuel can burn slightly differently, so fine-tuning is necessary.
-
-
Adjusting the Idle Screw (LA):
-
The LA screw controls the idle speed.
-
Adjust the LA screw clockwise to increase idle speed or counterclockwise to decrease it.
-
The engine should idle smoothly without the chain moving.
-
-
Fine-Tuning:
-
After initial adjustments, rev the engine and check for smooth acceleration and steady idle.
-
If needed, make minor adjustments to the L and H screws to fine-tune performance.
-
-
Final Check:
-
Test the chainsaw under normal operating conditions to ensure optimal performance.
-
Make further adjustments if necessary to achieve the best performance with alkylate fuel.
-
Tips
-
Safety First: Always ensure the chain brake is engaged during adjustments and wear appropriate safety gear.
-
Manual Reference: Refer to the Stihl chainsaw owner's manual for specific RPM settings and adjustment procedures.
-
Regular Maintenance: Keep the air filter clean and use fresh alkylate fuel to maintain optimal performance.
-
​Seek Professional Help: If you are unsure or uncomfortable with adjusting the carburetor, consider taking your chainsaw to a professional for servicing. Proper adjustment is crucial for safe and efficient operation.
​
By carefully adjusting the carburetor, you can ensure your Stihl chainsaw runs efficiently on alkylate fuel, providing clean and reliable performance.
2T alkylate fuel for your Husqvarna chainsaw
Here is a guide for adjusting the carburetor on a Husqvarna chainsaw when switching to alkylate fuel. The process is quite similar to that for Stihl chainsaws but tailored to the specifics of Husqvarna models.

Prepare the Chainsaw:
-
Clean the chainsaw, ensuring the air filter is free from debris.

Identify the three carburetor adjustment screws on your Husqvarna chainsaw, usually labeled L (low speed), H (high speed), and T (idle).
-
-

-
Begin with the standard initial settings for the carburetor screws:
-
L screw: Turn clockwise until it seats gently, then turn it counterclockwise one full turn.
-
H screw: Turn clockwise until it seats gently, then turn it counterclockwise one full turn.
-
T screw: Set to the recommended idle position from the manual.
-
-
-
Adjusting the Low-Speed Screw (L):
-
With the chainsaw idling, turn the L screw slowly in 1/16 turn increments.
-
Adjust until the engine runs smoothly and accelerates without hesitation.
-
If the engine stalls or runs roughly, adjust the L screw slightly richer (counterclockwise) or leaner (clockwise) until it stabilizes.
