I quit the used oil before cold weather and resume in the spring.
I need to do some freezer testing on just how it is affected compared to straight fuel, before I trust to run it in cold weather.
You make no mention whether you are using an anti-gel treatment.
What you described sounds like a typical gelling.
The fuel was probably borderline, sitting still in the driveway, and the ice-cold air blowing under the truck finished it off.
Also, fuel will really cool down, when forced through lines under pressure, and then being released of the pressure suddenly, as in leaving a small fuel-line and entering the more spaceous confines of the filter, sort of the same way the refrigerant in the A/C works.
When did you last change filters ??
