Kerosene Wick Sales Ideas for Independent Dealers

AT PHP we sell wicks from Cans Unlimited. Cans offers the most attractively packaged wicks, and they

are the most thoroughly tested.

Their English laboratory maintains over 200 different heater models to insure that the wicks fit perfectly

and burn at maximum BTU outputs using American fuel.

Some of this year’s production lot was tested in 20 different heaters in June 1995. The average

percentage above the heaters rated BTU output was 9%. This is very important for customer satisfaction

because a heater with a new wick should give the proper BTU output on the low setting. As a wick builds

up tar, it must be turned up a little higher to maintain normal combustion. When the heater is turned as

high as possible to burn normally, it is time to dry burn. Dry burning cleans the tar from the top of the

wick. This lowest setting is used again for normal burning as the cycle starts over.

This is great advice for your customer, but he needs to buy your superior quality wick to take advantage

of it. There are many cheap generic wicks which cannot provide the proper combustion on the lower

settings.

Some customers want to know if graphite coated fiberglass will accumulate less tar than white fiberglass.

One factory that made that claim conducted a test using 80% kerosene and 20% diesel. After 15 1/2

hours the black top had 1,051 milligrams of tar and the white top had 1,651 milligrams. Besides proving

nothing about using 100% kerosene, the test may really show that fuel transference to the top of the

wick was better with the white top. The white top averaged 9,074 BTU; the black top was 8,840 BTU.

Not bad for a dirtier wick.
