Diesel tractors differ alot compared to carb models like I was used to in many ways. One would "think" that a warm engine passes the heat to the fuel. This is true to an extent on a carb, but not on a diesel. The thicker fuel retains its cold temps better than the thinner gas. Gas will vaporize as it flows, more so when it gets hot.

They typically are several inches from the block and don't warm up unless you have a hood blanket wrapped around the engine compartment. It does not suprise me at all with the temps you report, that the fuel is still gelling. I have heard of guys mixing kerosene and other additives in the winter. But, with -20 temps, its inevidible that you are not going too far. Just makes you wonder how many big trucks are sitting in the truck stops.
