EDT+ WINTER DEFENSE is our EVERYDAY DIESEL TREATMENT with added anti-gel properties. It is a fully formulated 7-in-1 diesel treatment to prevent diesel fuel from gelling and icing. It contains a powerful cetane booster, LX4 lubricity additive, keep-clean detergent package and de-icer chemicals.
EDT+ WINTER DEFENSE prevents paraffin wax precipitation during cold weather, by minimizing the size of the wax crystals and allowing the fuel to travel through the fuel filter at temperatures 20°F below the cloud point (wax solidification point) of the diesel fuel.
Add to diesel fuel before wax starts to form (near freezing temperatures). Use at every fill-up. Use the performance dose for additional cetane boost, fuel lubricity, and a lower pour point. Performance dose is required when temperatures are below 0°F.
Fuel treated with EDT+ Winter Defense becomes a “PREMIUM” diesel fuel. The cetane improver in EDT+ consists of special nitrates which are pro-oxidants, and which speed up the oxidative process of fuels during combustion, giving more power and improved mileage. EDT+ provides significantly increased ignition efficiency with all diesel fuels. In addition, EDT+ prevents gum and sludge formation. Corrosion is prevented by an inhibitor which produces a protective non-deposit-forming film on metal surfaces in the fuel system and which neutralizes corrosive acids formed during combustion. An important component of EDT+ is a special demulsifier which disperses condensed moisture. Condensed water in fuels is a major cause of rust, icing in cold weather and the growth of microorganisms in warm weather. Operation of diesel engines is noticeably improved when corrosion and growth of bacteria are prevented. EDT+ contains an exclusive polar lubricity additive to prevent wear without altering fuel viscosity.
The Science
EDT+ is extremely effective in middle distillate fuels to improve combustion and ignition efficiency, enhance fuel economy and maintain fuel in a clean, stabilized condition. The sulfur content of this diesel fuel additive does not exceed 15 ppm
The reason for better performance with EDT+ is that cetane improvement in the fuel gives a smoother, less erratic pressure buildup in the combustion chamber during the ignition delay period which occurs between injection and ignition.
Controlling this pressure buildup with EDT+ eliminates potential damage to piston rings and rod bearings
Power and fuel economy are increased as fuel burns more evenly and cleanly. Misfiring is controlled. When ignition improves, emissions are reduced, and noise levels are lowered. Controlling the pressure build-up allows more complete burning of the refractive molecules in the fuel, which steal power and produce deposits and wear.
No other diesel oil or fuel additive has a better guarantee than Hot Shot’s Secret products. If our products do not deliver as promised, then we will give you your money back. End of story.
2/3/23 I bought fuel add EDT+ Winter Defense. After fueling my fuel restriction gauge was climbing. Then hot shot secret kicked in everything went back to normal. Ever since I started using this product horsepower, mileage has improved. Also seems that engine is running smoothly and more quite than before.
I own/operate a ‘19 Peterbilt 389 with a Cummins X-15. I live in the Midwest and run the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic regions weekly. I purchased my truck new from a dealer in Oklahoma so nothing on it is heated when it comes to my fuel system. I’ve been driving 20+ years and I was a loyal customer of a competing brand until they failed me in -15 degree temps just before Christmas 2022. I stopped to fill my fuel tanks as they were nearing half empty. I double treated as directed and pretty much watched my fuel restriction gauge climb until it was pegged and the light was on. The engine eventually died. I used the competing brands emergency formula and swapped my primary fuel filter. Still no go. I ended up having to be towed into a shop so the truck could be warmed up and we swapped filters again. $900.00 later I was up & running. A friend of mine had been telling me about HSS and I decided to give you guys a try. So far so good. I run your EDT+ anti-gel in my truck as well as my reefer tank. I like the fact that I have only 1 jug of fuel additive to carry with me instead of bringing along several bottles of the competing brands injector cleaner as well as their anti-gel. I also love the free/fast shipping from HSS. I have since recommended your products to many more people and they are noticing a difference as well. Thank you !!!
This stuff is the best product I’ve ever used in my truck. I am a hotshotter and put about 2000 miles per week on my truck and there isn’t a mile run that doesn’t have hot shot secret. Protects my investments. Love this stuff
