Aspen Fuels: Better for Man, Machine & Environment. Why Fire Departments Trust it:

With Aspen, Ness Lake Fire doesn’t need to service equipment sitting all winter; a huge savings. Engines start on the first pull every time.  It has no odor so can be safely stored in the truck. Impressive.  I strongly recommend Aspen. 
Chief Percy Dergez 

Van Anda Fire switched to prevent destabilized fuel from fouling our equipment. We don’t have to drain and dispose of out-of-date fuel twice a year.
Chief Mike Craggs 

Vanderhoof Fire now has no problems with engines not starting, no fouled carbs or sparkplugs.  I promote Aspen to other departments.
Chief Ian Leslie
