Hot Shot's Secret Everyday Diesel Treatment (EDT) is a concentrated diesel fuel additive designed to clean injectors, increase cetane, improve lubricity, and protect fuel systems when added at each fill-up.

Everyday Diesel Treatment (EDT) by Hot Shot's Secret is formulated for routine use in diesel engines to help maintain performance and protect fuel system components. It combines detergents, lubricity enhancers, rust inhibitors, and cetane-boosting agents so you can treat fuel at regular intervals without complex dosing. This one-gallon pack supplies many treatments for cars, trucks, farm equipment, and fleets that want a straightforward additive solution to keep engines running smoothly.

How will EDT affect my fuel economy and responsiveness?

EDT is designed to raise cetane and improve combustion quality, which can lead to smoother acceleration and more efficient fuel burn. Results vary by engine and condition, but many users report improved throttle response and measurable fuel savings after consistent use.

  • Boosts cetane up to about 7 points under typical conditions
  • Improves combustion stability for smoother power delivery
  • May reduce unburned fuel and rough idling from degraded diesel

What type of cleaning and protection does it provide for injectors and pumps?

EDT contains cleaning agents that target both internal and external injector deposits while adding lubricity to protect moving parts. The formula helps remove varnish and carbon build-up that reduce spray pattern quality and fuel metering accuracy.

  • Cleans injector deposits to restore spray patterns
  • Enhances fuel lubricity to protect pumps and injectors
  • Helps prevent long-term wear from gritty or aged fuel

Can EDT prevent rust, corrosion, and water-related fuel problems?

Yes—EDT includes corrosion inhibitors and demulsifiers to address moisture in diesel. It helps separate and manage water so it can be removed at the tank, and it coats metal surfaces to reduce oxidation.

  • Demulsifies water to reduce microbial growth and phase separation
  • Provides anti-corrosion additives to protect metal components
  • Stabilizes fuel to slow oxidation and degradation during storage

How do I use Everyday Diesel Treatment and what dose is recommended?

EDT is intended for routine use at each fill-up. The dosing is simple: add 1 ounce per 25 gallons for regular maintenance, or up to 2 ounces per 25 gallons when you want a stronger cetane and lubricity boost.

  • Standard dose: 1 oz per 25 gallons at every fill-up
  • Higher-performance dose: 2 oz per 25 gallons for increased cetane
  • Pour directly into the fuel tank during fueling for easy application

Who is this for? Everyday Diesel Treatment is suited for diesel vehicle owners who want an easy, regular maintenance additive: owners of light- and heavy-duty trucks, agricultural and construction equipment, fleet managers, and anyone storing diesel for seasonal use. It's particularly helpful for equipment that sees variable fuel quality, long storage periods, or frequent stop-start operation. While EDT supports improved combustion and protection, individual results depend on engine condition and operating habits; use as part of a broader maintenance plan for best outcomes.

FAQ

Q: How often should I add Hot Shot's Secret EDT?

A: EDT works in most diesel blends, including B5–B20; check manufacturer compatibility for higher biodiesel concentrations.
