Hard starting when below 30deg. out???

Ok my truck has been really running good and then all of the sudden I went out one morning when it was bout 15 degrees out and she didn't want to start, it just cranked over and nothing, but when I let off so I would not burn up starter, the lift pump started and got pressure to the hrvp44 and then when you get good pressure to the pump it will start easily

But i was worried I had to much anti-gel in it so I put alot of 2cycle oil in it and after a couple days it got warmer out and it didn't do it for awhile but now she doin it again

Now my lift pump setup is a holley blue on frame rail and another holley blue knockoff mounted in stock location, now I usually run bout 20 - 25 psi at idle and no lower than 15 psi at wot.

I was just wondering if the power puck could be causing this or my makeshift fuel system, saving money for a better lp soon.

Are you sure your heater grids are working.
