Answers to your questions about ActiSTART products.
ActiSTART is a new alkylated fuel for small combustion engines used in gardening, DIY and leisure equipment. It is produced by TotalEnergies Additives and Fuels Solutions, TotalEnergies’ special fuels supplier. The ActiSTART range includes a product for 2-stroke engines and a product for 4-stroke engines.
This type of gasoline is produced by the oil refining process and more specifically by the alkylation unit.
It differs from ordinary gasoline in that its composition is much kinder to user health and the environment. It contains fewer harmful compounds, such as aromatic compounds (e.g. benzene).
Alkylated gasoline is suitable for small 2-stroke or 4-stroke engines, such as lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, brush cutters and other power tools.
What is the difference between ActiSTART and normal gasoline? Most conventional fuels contain chemical compounds that are hazardous to health and the environment, such as benzene. Since some of these products are removed through the alkylation process, ActiSTART fuel lowers the impact on users and reduces pollution.

Yes and no. The ActiSTART range offers products that generate less pollution than traditional fuels, but it is not a biofuel.
ActiSTART products are suitable for use in equipment powered by 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines, such as:
- Lawn mowers
- Chainsaws
- Compactors
- Cultivators -
Hedge trimmers
- Blowers
- Etc.
ActiSTART will appeal to you if you are looking for a cleaner and less harmful alternative to unleaded fuel to power your small machines:
- Reduced impact on health, machinery and the environment with its adapted chemical composition
- Effective engine protection with a high-octane rating
- Long-term storage due to the absence of ethanol and olefins
- All-season engine starting as a result of the adapted volatility, even after months in winter storage
You can store your ActiSTART or ActiSTART + canister for up to three years. This product contains no ethanol or olefins, which prevents oxidation and makes the fuel stable for longer.
