Help! She's stranded on the highway -30 C

[macdoe]

Hello, 1988 420 sel...I meant the car is stranded on the highway, the wife got a ride in by a passerby (thankful to the angel that picked her up). Anyways, as she was telling me this on her phone, the guy started to look at it. I wanted to tell her to ask him to take his hands off that car but he went straight for the air cleaner lid, and out of curiosity...I waited and heard him tell her that the carb was iced up. I asked her to ask for methyl hydrate but they did'nt have any.

Has this happened to anyone in cold weather with this car and how did you get it going. No big panic but I have to go get it off the road.

She said it was running good and just died..all guages read good before shut down. Timing chain has been done in the last 20,000kms.

I am going to pick up some gas line antifreeze and pour some in the throttle body, but are there any ideas for me. I may have to just get it towed to thaw out. Will diesel anti freeze fuel treatment work?

I had this happen on a dodge slant six in the cold and just scooped the ice out and it kept going but that was carberator. air must be condensing at the inlet with this cold weather.

I have the 300Td warming up and am heading out soon.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
