Default Frozen lines???? Help please!!!!

It got cold down here last night so I plugged it in but obviously didn't help the truck crank this morning and died after about 3 seconds and all it does is try to crank but can't. I took my fuel filter off and watched as my buddy turned the key and no fuel came through so does this mean the lines are froze or what? Radiators full and everything. I'm out of options and any comments would
Be appreciated. And if it is the lines I need to know what to do next.

diesel (i dont think can freeze) it jells, summer diesel without additives, starts to Jell around 17 deg *F
winter diesel (with the additive) is much lower.

you need to get the temp of the tank above at least 17*F to stop jelling, if your fuel is frozen, you have more of a problem than you thought.

Sounds like the fuel jelled. We enjoy this from time to time up here in the trucks. Equipment doesn't seem to have as much of an issue with it. What we do to prevent the fuel from jelling is run power service in it. Just an additive to the fuel to keep it liquid. Helps clean out the system as well

If it gelled in the lines or tank, you have a big issue. It ussually gells first in the filter.
