Follow the Directions For Use...
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. :)

Works well as a winterizer and also adds lubrication properties
Good value. I have used this in trucks and tractors and other equipment. It is a higher dosage rate than the regular EDT but I feel like along with keeping diesel from gelling up it is also some insurance as far as lubricity on the injection pump and other components and hopefully will help everything last a very long time. So far I have not had any gelling issues using this. I think the main thing to keep in mind is treat your fuel and use some to get it through the filter, pump, etc before it gets cold out. Make sure to treat per gallon and also for the cold expected.

Great stuff.
My fuel economy went from 15 or so to 19.5 mpg at the peak of highway driving with no vehicle upgrades or modifications. Truck had been lagging and after a few miles the throttle has become more responsive and shifting easier in a 2016 6.7 Cummins. I won’t fill up without it. By the way it smells pretty strong. If you leave it in the cab keep it double bagged or buy a magnetic holder for the bed. It’s fairly overwhelming.

This product is what it says it is and does! My definitely go to from now on!
I am a believer! Got an endine light and when ran codes got P0401. my friend said that could be very expensive. He suggested to give this a shot and take my diesel on highway with greater speeds and run it. So I did. No more light no more codes! I now add it every other fill to keep up with it. on my 2009 SUV I used similar products but for gas engines and that baby runs awesome at just about 250K miles!

Fine, but tends to leak if bottle falls over
delivered fine, but when i try to close bottle it is difficult to make it leakprood. So if it falls over it leaks.

TDI Seems To Like This Stuff. A Must For US D2 Fuel.
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!

Excelente producto, la única pega , es que el dosificador es en onzas/ galón. Siendo inútil en europa , que usamos el mililitros/ litros. Y el vendedor no se entera de la conversión. De todos modos os dejo la conversión 5 mililitros del aditivo / 10 litros de diésel.

I used this on some 3 year old fuel I had stored , treated it and have been running it in my truck , works great .

My cold start gets much better and good increase in mileage It will cover it's price by the fuel efficiency only Plus the cleaning effect on the injectors and lubrication of the diesel pump

These bottles are easy and convenient to use. With modern ULSD and high-pressure fuel pumps, lubricity is important, and I want to preserve my fuel pump for as long as possible. Every time I fill from empty, 2 ounces go into the tank. The pipette/squeeze bottle makes measuring very convenient.
