Hot Shot's Secret diesel anti-gel additive, 1 Gallon concentrate — winter defense, improves lubricity

Formulated for cold climates, this one-gallon concentrated treatment helps diesel run reliably when temperatures drop. It reduces wax crystal size so fuel can pass through filters at temperatures well below the fuel's cloud point, while also improving lubricity, boosting cetane, dispersing water, and cleaning injectors. Use it proactively as temperatures approach freezing or reactively before extended storage or anticipated extreme cold.

How does this additive stop diesel from gelling in winter?

EDT+ Winter Defense modifies the behavior of paraffin wax in diesel so crystals stay small and less likely to clog filters or lines. By lowering the effective temperature at which wax impedes fuel flow, the product keeps fuel moving when untreated diesel would thicken or block the system.

• Controls wax crystal formation to allow fuel flow below the cloud point.
• Treated fuel passes through filters at temperatures up to 20°F colder than untreated fuel.
• Recommended dosing increases for subzero conditions to preserve flow and prevent gelling.

What performance benefits does the formula provide beyond anti-gel protection?

Beyond freeze protection, this additive enhances fuel lubricity and raises cetane to support easier starting and smoother combustion. It also helps remove deposits from injectors and provides corrosion protection, so critical fuel system parts run cleaner and last longer.

• Improves lubricity up to roughly 32% to shield pumps and injectors.
• Provides an approximate 7-point cetane gain for improved ignition quality.
• Cleans internal and external injector deposits to support consistent spray patterns.

Will it handle water and ice in the fuel system?

The product includes demulsifying agents that disperse water into fine droplets so it can pass harmlessly through the system instead of freezing in lines or creating ice blockages. This helps protect against rust and line freeze-ups even in extreme cold.

• Breaks water into dispersible droplets to avoid ice plugging.
• Reduces the risk of rust and corrosion in fuel system components.
• Formulated to maintain operation in temperatures down to very low extremes.

How do I use the one-gallon concentrate and what are dosing guidelines?

The concentrate is designed for easy dosing at the pump or before storage. One gallon treats a large volume of diesel when used at the recommended ratio, and the dosing rate can be adjusted for more severe cold.

• Standard dose: 2 oz per 25 gallons of diesel (16 oz treats ~200 gallons).
• For conditions below 0°F, double the dose for extra protection.
• Add to the tank during fueling or before storage and start treatment as temperatures approach freezing.

Who is this for: Hot Shot's Secret EDT+ Winter Defense is aimed at diesel vehicle owners, fleet operators, agricultural users, and anyone who stores or operates diesel equipment in cold weather. It’s useful for pickup trucks, SUVs with diesel engines, generators, farm equipment, and commercial diesel fleets that require dependable winter starts, cleaner injectors, and extra protection against water-related issues.
