Forgot to switch from WVO to Diesel - HELP!!!!

OK - It has been in the low 30's here in SLC and I was driving on WVO - lots on the mind, not to mention I am an idiot anyway - and forgot to throw the switch. I tried starting the car the next morning not realizing that I was still on WVO. I switched the car over to diesel but it will not start. I looked at the clear filter and realized it was filled with solid veggie oil. I began boiling many pots of hot water and poured them over the IP, but it still will not start. I also tried the priming pump to get diesel into the lines, but it won't prime.

I bought the car with a heated two tank system with an inline spin-on filter already installed. The Filter has heater hoses wrapped around it. The priming system also uses a loop with a little valve that has to be opened during priming.

Any suggestions?????????????
