There's plenty truckers can do to prepare themselves for the colder temperatures, but it's important to remember your truck's engine, as well.
Hot Shot's Secret's EDT + Winter Defense fuel additive can help protect those diesel engines throughout the coldest parts of the year. EDT + Winter Defense is Hot Shot's Everyday Diesel Treatment with added anti-gel properties.
It's a fully formulated 7-in-1 diesel treatment to prevent diesel fuel from gelling and icing. It contains a powerful cetane booster, LX4 lubricity additive, keep-clean detergent package and de-icer chemicals.
The company says it reduces fuel line freeze-ups down to negative-40 degrees Fahrenheit, increases fuel efficiency, and boosts power and increases cetane.
A 16-oz bottle of EDT + Winter Defense treats 200 gallons of diesel with temperatures above 0 degrees Fahrenheit, while a quart treats the same amount with temps below 0. It's recommended to add the treatment to diesel fuel before wax starts to form (near freezing temperatures), and to use at every fill-up.
It's available in sizes ranging from 6-oz bottles up to 5-gallon containers.
