In urban areas, parks, gardens, and anywhere maintenance work requires the use of equipment powered by combustion engines, the use of conventional gasoline should arguably already be prohibited—especially since a more efficient alternative exists that requires no engine replacement or modification. This alternative is alkylate gasoline, which can be used in both new and older machines.
“The key point is that no modifications are required for an engine to run on this type of fuel,” says Konrad Bieńkowski, Member of the Management Board of Warter Fuels, a Polish producer of alkylate fuels. He adds: “It is worth emphasizing that research conducted by the Poznań University of Technology confirmed that our alkylate gasolines (PRO 2 and PRO 4) achieve average fuel consumption levels that are 7–8% lower than those of conventional 98-octane gasoline.”
By contrast, ordinary gasoline—even unleaded gasoline—used in small gardening and landscaping equipment poses significant environmental and health concerns. Due to the specific design characteristics of two-stroke engines, as much as 30% of the fuel may remain unburned. It is expelled through the exhaust as a raw, toxic aerosol directly into playgrounds, lawns, and the lungs of equipment operators.
“I am convinced that alkylate gasoline is ideally suited for beautiful castle parks, public squares, and spa resorts. It meets the needs of schools, hospitals, and residential communities. It is also an excellent solution for historic palace-and-park complexes, hotels, guesthouses, and private gardens,” says Konrad Bieńkowski, Member of the Management Board of Warter Fuels.
Alkylate Fuels: A Solution Available Today
An effective and proven solution that allows users to continue operating their existing equipment while protecting both the environment and machine operators is Warter PRO alkylate gasoline.
“This is a game-changing solution that requires no modifications to engine designs, no investment in new fuel tanks, and no costly equipment replacement. Work can continue exactly as before, except that our fuels—and this has been confirmed by research conducted at Polish universities—are almost entirely free of carcinogenic benzene and harmful aromatic hydrocarbons,” explains Konrad Bieńkowski.
Exhaust emissions generated by Warter PRO 2 and PRO 4 are virtually odorless, while the formation of toxic ground-level ozone (smog) is reduced by as much as 40%. The fuels also contain no hygroscopic ethanol, helping to prevent corrosion and damage to rubber seals. They can be safely stored in equipment fuel tanks for up to five years, ensuring reliability in emergency situations.
According to experts from the Institute of Engines and Aviation at the Poznań University of Technology, Warter Fuels’ alkylate gasolines (PRO 2 and PRO 4) emit 25–40% fewer toxic exhaust components, including carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx), during combustion. This represents a significant environmental benefit.
“By choosing and using alkylate fuel, we take an important step toward protecting the health of those around us. While the purchase price may be higher, this is offset by the fuel’s greater energy efficiency,” adds Konrad Bieńkowski.
Warter Fuels is a Polish manufacturer of two types of Warter PRO alkylate gasoline, designed for both two-stroke and four-stroke engines. These fuels are suitable for scooters, ATVs, gardening equipment, forestry machinery, and construction equipment. Due to their chemical composition, alkylate fuels can also be used in enclosed environments, such as with power generators, provided that adequate ventilation is maintained.
In addition to Warter PRO, Warter Fuels’ portfolio includes the aviation fuel brand Warter Aviation and the motorsport fuel brand Warter Racing. Warter Fuels supplies its products to customers in 120 countries worldwide.
