My fuel must have gelled last night

It was 15 degrees here in Nashville, NC last night. I had just refueled. I also added a gallon of Kerosene to keep fuel from Jelling. We've got an ice storm coming! Well, I forgot to plug in the block heater this morning and when I went to go to work, she sounded like she would fire on the first bit of fuel and then I let off the key. I let the plugs cycle again and nothing. Five times nothing. The battery sounded like it was getting a workout. So I plugged up the heater and got a ride. When I got back home, she fired no problem. I think my fuel jelled.

There's a first time for everything. She has started fine every other cold morning before this tank without the block heater.
