save on capital expenses and also save by
not having to purchase kerosene during
the cold winter months. The dealers should
be able to generate an increased margin
when selling these value-added products
to their customers, especially once their
customers appreciate the range of benefits
that Sprague’s products can generate.
Sprague works directly with dealers to help
communicate these benefits, making its
product experts available to join dealers on
joint sales calls when requested.
Do you offer marketing
support for fuel retailers?
Sprague offers a wide range of marketing
support for fuel retailers and dealers. We
create customized collateral to support
selling efforts such as direct mail pieces,
email blasts and product brochures. All
collateral that we develop can be branded
with the retailer/dealer contact information
and logos to further their sales efforts.

Technol
®
503 Diesel Fuel Conditioner
is a premium diesel fuel improver designed
specifically for heavy engine trucks with
common rail injectors. Problems have
occurred because of the process involved in
the high pressure/high heat burning of the
fuel in these injectors. The fuel that is not
burned is sent back down to the saddle tanks
of the vehicles at a temperature reaching
500°F which causes and leads to quicker
fuel degradation. Technol
®
503 Diesel
Conditioner has all the great features and
benefits of Technol
®
403Diesel Conditioner;
such as increased lubricity, corrosion
inhibitor, fuel stabilizer, sludge dispersant,
water control and cetane enhancer (up to 5
numbers). It increases available horsepower
and torque, lowers exhaust emissions
and soot output and reduces deposits and
carbon build-up. However, Technol
®
503
Diesel Fuel Conditioner includes a newly
formulated detergent package that address
the common rail injector issues.
What is your advice on how to treat heating oil?
We continue to recommend our
STR-2+Year Round Fuel Conditioner; a
proven product that prevents problems in
fuel oil tanks. It stabilizes your fuel, with
sludge dispersants to prevent gelled fuel
(lowers pour point up to 25°). It prevents
ice, emulsifies water, controls algae, inhibits
corrosion, and improves fuel combustion
and efficiency. It works in blended biofuel.
246 Super Sludge Dispersant is for
sludge-contaminated tanks. It eliminates
sludge buildup; cleans tanks, lines, filters,
nozzles, combustion chambers and heat
transfer tubes; inhibits corrosion; emulsifies
and controls water; improves fuel combus-
tion; and retards biological growth in fuel.
050 Cold Flow Improver lowers Cold
Filter Plug Point by up to 30°F and lowers
Pour Point by up to 50°F. It is compatible
with all distillate fuels; permits smooth-
flowing fuel under the most extreme cold
climate conditions; melts and prevents
gelled fuel and ice in tanks, fuel lines, and
filters, which reduces the fuel’s tendency to
plug lines and filters. It eliminates the need
to blend with expensive Kerosene
What is your advice on how to treat ULSD?
We recommend using Technol
®
453
Winter Diesel Conditioner in the winter
months andTechnol
®
403DieselConditioner
in the summer. The features and benefits of
both are: increased lubricity, corrosion inhi-
bition, fuel stabilization, sludge dispersion,
water control, and cetane enhancement (up
to 5 numbers). The conditioners increase
available horsepower and torque, lower
exhaust emissions and soot output and
reduce deposits and carbon build-up. The
453 Winter Diesel Conditioner eliminates
fuel gelling and prevents ice.
What is your advice on treating Bioheat
®
blends?
Our STR-2+Year Round Fuel Conditioner
can be used for Bioheat blends up to B20.
Our customers can enjoy all the benefits of
STR-2+ in their Bioheat applications.
How can a fuel dealer improve
profitability by selling treated fuel?
The largest benefit comes from reduced
service calls. Our fuel dealers find that
they can sleep easy when a cold snap is
predicted. Our failure rate is nil (depending
on the preventative use of Technol
®
050
Cold Flow Improver in extreme cold areas).
When service calls in the middle of the
night, at high service rates, are eliminated,
profitability increases, as does customer
confidence.
Do you offer marketing
support for fuel retailers?
We are a distributor company and
provide support for our distributors.
Support in the form of marketing materials
and hot line support to all of our customers
is available.
