How does Hot Shot's Secret Diesel Winter Anti-Gel work?
Diesel Winter Anti-Gel works to improve winter operability using three different chemicals — a wax modifier, a wax anti-settling agent and a military-grade de-icer. The wax modifier significantly reduces the point at which wax in diesel fuel solidifies, and the wax anti-settling agent keeps the wax dispersed once the precipitation temperature is reached. Finally, the de-icer disperses moisture, preventing it from clogging and freezing fuel filters in temperatures as low as -40 °F.
The recommended treatment ratio for Hot Shot's Secret Diesel Winter Anti-Gel with #2 diesel is 1:1,000. Therefore, use approximately 1 ounce of anti-gel for every 8 gallons of fuel for the best results.
Will Diesel Winter Anti-Gel work with my engine?
Our anti-gel formula is safe for use in all diesel engines, including marine, semitruck, construction, agriculture, RV and racing engines. Just a few popular engines, Diesel Winter Anti-Gel effectively treats engine models from Cummins, Saab, GM's Duramax, and the Ford Power Stroke.
When should I add Diesel Winter Anti-Gel?
Diesel Winter Anti-Gel is the ideal fuel additive to use in cold weather when you want to improve cold starts, prevent gelling and icing, reduce fuel line freeze, boost cetane and improve fuel economy. Add one treatment of Diesel Winter Anti-Gel with every fill-up for consistent protection against low-temperature performance issues.
Please note that Diesel Winter Anti-Gel is intended for everyday cold weather use. For emergency situations in which fuel or fuel filters have already frozen, use Hot Shot's Secret Diesel Winter Rescue.
Can I use Diesel Winter Anti-Gel with Everyday Diesel Treatment (EDT)?
Diesel Winter Anti-Gel provides all the same protections and benefits of Everyday Diesel Treatment -EDT with the addition of an anti-gel. All you need to use is Diesel Winter Anti-Gel.
Can I use Diesel Winter Anti-Gel with biodiesel?
We do not recommend using Diesel Winter Anti-Gel with diesel blends containing more than 20% biodiesel.
How should I store Diesel Winter Anti-Gel?
Once mixed with diesel, our anti-gel additive protects fuel to temperatures as low as -65° F. However, the freezing point of Diesel Winter Anti-Gel is higher before it is added to diesel. We recommend storing the product at a minimum temperature of 20°F for this reason. You should also take care to keep the product away from sources of ignition and always reseal the container tightly to prevent leaks. For more detailed storage and use information, see the official safety data sheet.
Will using Diesel Winter Anti-Gel void my engine's warranty?
No, using Diesel Winter Anti-Gel will not cause damage to your engine or void your manufacturer's warranty. That's a guarantee.
