Hot Shot's SecretHot Shot's Secret Everyday Diesel Treatment (HSSEDT16ZS) 6-in-1 Diesel Fuel Additive - Treats 400 Gallons, Diesel Injector Cleaner, Diesel Fuel System Cleaner, Diesel Additive Boosts Cetane, 16oz

If you simply follow the directions, then this is an excellent product! If you intentionally use too much thinking that more product has to be better, well, then you deserve what you get and very likely you'll end up killing your expensive fuel injectors or the equally expensive fuel pump as a result. Follow the directions for use exactly and measure out the correct amount of product. This is not going to repair years/decades of neglect and pre-existing internal fuel system corrosion/damage/wear issues, which should go without saying, but I've read the low-rated reviews, which are few.Got the 32oz bottle to try, as better value compared to the smaller 16oz bottle/squeeze bottle. The only downside is you really need to follow the directions for use and measure out this type of fuel additive to avoid using too much of it per tank, which is significantly more difficult with the larger bottle size. As others have noted the caps on the larger bottles don't seal very well, and product is not something you want to keep inside your vehicle (or anywhere enclosed really) unless you bag it and ensure it cannot fall over. Failure to follow the product directions (just pouring it in freely) can result in damage to the very expensive injectors and fuel pump, etc., which is also true of other branded diesel fuel additives as well.Follow the directions and you will very quickly feel the difference in throttle response compared to pump diesel. I use the top-tier diesel fuel and supplement with this product. I get much lower running noise, better fuel economy, less DPF regenerations, and significantly better throttle response. The driving 'fun factor' alone is worth the price of this product, but I actually buy it to protect my aging HPFP and original injectors in my '10 Audi Q7 TDI...those bits are kinda pricey to replace. I used Liqui Moly products prior, and those are great too, but more expensive, so now I'm on Hotshot's EDT, and my TDI loves it. :)

Seems to be best value and effectiveness for this class of product, with minimal user complaints around the industry. An easy go-to.

Diesel fuel additives are a very controversial topic. If you decide that you do want to use an additive, this product is extremely hard to beat for the price. Yes, there are products that outperform this is one category or another, but at a much higher price point. EDT is a highly effective well rounded product that does everything well and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg while doing it.

After purchasing our 2012 VW TDI diesel at 140K miles I started researching best practices to keep these little engines happy. What I read was that the US has some of the crappiest quality D2 diesel on the world stage. Even Canada's diesel is higher cetane and lubricity rated than the States not to even mention Europe which has WAY higher standards than us. The weak point of these TDI engines seems to be the high pressure fuel pump (HPFP) that is crank driven to enormous pressure for the injectors to to their thing. If these HPFP parts fail on common rail engines they can literally grenade and throw shards of metal everywhere within the downstream fuel system ensuring a VERY expensive repair if not destroying the engine altogether. The lubricating property of the fuel plays an important part in keeping these pumps working properly. There even seems to be some data supporting Canadian operated TDIs have fewer failure rates of the HPFP than stateside fueled vehicles although nothing had been officially published to my knowledge. Sulpher in the diesel had beneficial lubricating properties but was bad for the environment and subsequently removed from D2 by the EPA much like leaded gasoline of yesteryear. So the second tank I ran in my TDI was Hot Shot's EDT. I can't comment on the comparative difference as I ran this from almost day one. What I like is the claimed increased lubricity and cetane boost that is supposed to bring our crappy D2 up to reasonable levels the rest of the world enjoys. Fuel economy seems fine but playing with a low spun turbo and the subsequent torque is sometimes too irresistible to give fuel economy a fair chance. Besides, I need to blow out all that accumulated carbon :) I like the fact that the Hotshot's EDT seems more concentrated and affordable than the competition. 1oz for a tank is almost a performance treatment for my TDI. It's a negligible cost for a fill up and I hope they keep it that way. My dislike might be the one thing other people love about this product and that's the bottle. The bottle is meant to be squeezed to get the measured amount in the top fill area so measuring is easier. My concern is the filler neck is not long enough to cram into the filler to avoid spilling without a funnel and diesel doesn't do many favors to paint. My workaround was to save the empty bottles from other gasoline treatments and use a syringe to fill 1oz amounts of EDT and place in the trunk of the car in double plastic bags. Seems to work fine although the kitchen was probably not the best place to do this since it doesn't smell like flowers. Next purchase will likely be the bulk bottle. It's kind of a shame we actually need this kind of protection now since the US fuel standards are almost non-existent. Even B1 blended bio diesel would be a huge improvement in lubricity but not available where I live. Thanks Hotshot's...Good stuff!

I use it everyday as instructed. The performance is great. Less regens and great power with fuel economy improvements with mpg

Been using this stuff in 3 different diesel trucks. I cannot tell you whether it works or not, but my trucks still run and didn't blow up. So maybe it helped? It didn't blow them up ..... so there's that. I've never torn down my engines or looked at my injectors. Maybe that because I use this?

If you own a diesel truck, this is a game-changer! I’ve been using Hot Shot’s Secret Everyday Diesel Treatment, and the difference is undeniable.✅ Fuel Efficiency Boost – My fuel lasts noticeably longer, making this product a great investment.✅ Improved Engine Response – The motor runs smoother, quieter, and more responsive, especially under load.✅ Engine Health & Longevity – Knowing that it cleans injectors, improves lubrication, and prevents wear, gives me peace of mind.After adding this to my tank, my truck feels stronger and runs cleaner. If you care about your vehicle’s performance and longevity, this is a must-have! 🚀💪Would highly recommend it to any diesel owner. Your truck will thank you! 🔥💯

Good reviews so I bought. I didn’t have any problems with my 2021 6.6 duramax so I have know idea if this is working or doing nothing. No problems still, so good stuff i suppose… or not??
