STIHL Moto4Plus is petrol developed specifically for small 4-stroke engines.

STIHL Moto4Plus is petrol developed specifically for STIHL small 4-stroke engines.

This petrol is user and engine friendly thanks to fewer emissions (free from ethanol; almost no olefins and aromatic compounds) and provides smooth operation of your power tool or lawn mower.

Moto4Plus provides reliable top performance – STIHL small 4-stroke engines and STIHL Moto4Plus are made for each other; meaning all conceivable applications have been rigorously tested.

Can be kept in storage for up to five years.

Professional tip:

When you have finished using your petrol power tool or lawn mower, make sure it is still in the best possible condition for when you come to use it again by following these steps:

• When the engine is cool, safely drain the fuel tank of any remaining fuel.
• Put the fuel cap back on and attempt to start the machine. Repeat this until the engine no longer coughs.
• Store the machine in a secure place away from children.

What is an Alkylate Fuel?

Fuel from garage forecourts contain all sorts of ingredients. Alkanes make up approximately 40-45% of the formulation, and then a number of other components are added. This is not the case for alkylate fuels such as STIHL MotoMix (premixed fuel for 2 stroke petrol engines) and STIHL Moto4Plus (neat fuel for 4 stroke engines.)

These STIHL fuels contain almost nothing apart from paraffins which are an alkylate, with some added STIHL HP Ultra engine oil in the case of STIHL MotoMix. The advantages for using an alkylate fuel are two-fold; it’s better for you and the environment around you, and it’s better for the engine. Here’s why….

Why Use Alkylate Fuel?

The emissions produced by the use of alkylate fuels are significantly less harmful than those from traditional fuel, as they have far fewer additives and are mostly benzene free. Alkylate fuels also contain significantly less aromatics and produce up to 20% less carbon monoxide emissions.

As they are alkylate fuels, STIHL MotoMix and Moto4Plus are much cleaner burning and contain significantly fewer harmful compounds such as sulphur, benzene, and aromatics, which can cause dizziness, headaches, fatigue and irritated airways. That’s why we often read on the forums that users who have made the switch to STIHL fuels often feel a little better after doing so.

So, if you’re using a handheld petrol tool, it’s easy to see why using a premium fuel and investing in your health and the environment around you is a clear advantage. But what about the tool? 

STIHL Alkylate Fuel

STIHL MotoMix is designed for STIHL engines and is patented to be the best formulation for a STIHL machine. It is designed to have the best starting characteristics and faster acceleration up to working speed. It’s also been formulated to have the best engine protection, lubrication, and clean burning properties by using our premium 2-stroke engine oil, HP Ultra. Whilst it is formulated for STIHL machines, it can certainly be used in other 2-stroke petrol machines.

STIHL alkylate fuels have a shelf life of up to 5 years when stored unopened in the original container in a cool and dry environment, meaning fewer trips to the garage forecourt are needed. They can be bought in 1 or 5 litre bottles, as well as in 50 and 200 litre drums, ideal for professional users who use a lot of fuel on a daily basis.
