FASS Heater Lines

FASS Heater Lines
I have one of the older FASS units that mounts on the frame right in front of the fuel tank. Has anyone out there gone to the trouble to plumb in the heater lines to the unit, and if so, does it do any good in this -15F weather I am experiencing? I am having low fuel pressure warnings going off on initial startup, even with the block heater plugged in, 1/2 #1 fuel, and Power Service treatment supposedly down to -40F. Warning light goes out after about 10 minutes of high idle, but I don't like it....

First - never depend on the low fuel pressure light - get yourself a mechanical guage so you can actually know whats going on.
I dont see how plumbing antifreeze to the FASS is going to help you on a cold start.
Are you having problems with gelled fuel? If so, Id try to buy from a different station.

I'm curious what the proper way to plumb it is, a mechanic told me to put a tee on both of the hoses coming from the heater core, but my never ending thought process tells me to just cut 1 of the lines (preferably the one coming from the heater core as opposed to the one going to it) and put a 90 degree fitting on both sides and head back to the FASS with some heater hose. If you tee into both of the heater lines I don't believe it'll create a full circuit? Anyone with me on this?
