I feel your pain. Mine was less of a problem than yours.

-20 C Yeah that about like us here, cept about about 8 deg F colder. I too added some more deicer to the tank yesterday.

It is amazing how much we depend on being able to open the hood on these old cars.

Whereupon I find my car with frozen fuel, when I go to leave work (-20 C, about the temps the OP had today). I pour in the remainder of a quart of Diesel 911, no luck.

One $64 tow home later, the car is plugged in and I am kicking myself for having let our last two mild winters make me forget about what a bit of moisture in my fuel will do, at those temps.
