Really, a frozen fuel line on the DD? I thought that was a thing of the past with 10% ethanol in fuels now. Strange.

I always carry a small container of gas line antifreeze in the trunk in case the gas line freezes. I have not had a gas line freeze for years but it is a pita if it happens if u don't have gas line antifreeze. Cheap insuranceThe colder it is the more chance of condensation especially if you don't fill up your gas tank regularly. Not sure what P manual says about gas line antifreeze but in an emergency I would use it.

Ethanol fuels are actually more likely to cause fuel line freezing issues because ethanol is hygroscopic. In non ethanol fuels any water ends up in the bottom of the tank which should be well below the fuel pick up (unless you really have a tremendous amount of water in the tank). Ethanol provides a a way for water to be held in suspension in the fuel and for that reason is able to get into the fuel lines.
