Hot Shot’s Secret recently announced new distribution of EDT+ Winter Defense, a seven-in-one anti-gel fuel booster developed to keep diesel-powered vehicles operable and improve cold starts when temps start to drop below freezing.
The 16-ounce measurable squeeze bottle is now available at all locations of O’Reilly Auto Parts stores nationwide.
EDT+ Winter Defense offers all the benefits of Hot Shot’s Secret’s fuel additive, Everyday Diesel Treatment, and adds anti-gel and anti-icing properties to reduce fuel-line freeze-ups to keep diesel engines fully operational as low as minus 40 F, according to the company.
The all-year diesel additive includes a powerful cetane booster, lubricity additive, injector cleaner and fuel-stabilizer chemicals to improve winter performance and protection of the fuel system, the company says.
EDT+ Winter Defense is recommended for all diesel-powered vehicles, including cars, trucks, heavy-duty, semis, vans, buses, heavy-duty and ag equipment, and will not harm after-treatment systems, according to Hot Shot’s Secret, which recommends using before wax starts to form.
“In many parts of the country we have already seen heavy snowfall and cold temperatures,” Hot Shot’s Secret Brand Manager Josh Steinmetz said. “Diesel fuel is prone to wax deposits starting at 30 degrees. This product lowers the fuel-gelling point while improving the fuel combustibility, resulting in easier cold starts, reduced DPF regens and improved fuel economy. We’re very excited to be able to announce expanded distribution with O’Reilly Auto Parts before we face the brunt of the winter season.”
EDT+ Winter Defense is available in multiple sizes: 8, 16 and 32 ounces; 1, 5 and 55 gallons; and 275 gallons bulk at www.hotshotsecret.com.
