Lots of things work.
Either blend in some #1 diesel.
And or use some anti gel. I've always used Power Service, the white bottle, not the red bottle. See many cases of that sell in the farm stores here, and see a couple bottles of Howse on the shelf. Either works I'm sure.
These things need to be blended together and mixed before it gels up, so no just dump it in and then hope it starts next time. You shoulda used it back as we got below freezing temps, start early.
The red bottle 911 can help thaw out a gelled up system, but that's asking a lot to clear it up after the filter is already plugged.
Kerosene is sorta like #1 diesel, tho it may not have any of the lubrication additives actual diesel has and might be a little hard on the engine if you add a lot. On an older engine should work fine if you don't get carried away.
Many of these additives can loosen up gunk in the tank, if you guys aren't faithful on your maintenance have a fuel filter on hand, as you will clear out the gel issue, and fill the filter with old gunk.....
My 1720 has a tiny fuel filter on it and is the most troublesome one I have for gelling up, or filling up with gunk, need to change that filter on a regular schedule.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day.
