If the fuel gells it will be done starting.Gelled fuel is a solid not a liquid.Most likely you have ice in the fuel filter or line thats not completely closed off.It just runs until its out of fuel,then sets a little bit and more fuel runs through,them it runs out again.The only cure for gelled fuel is get it inside of a building or put a tarp around it or something and a heater of some sort to get the solid fuel liquid again,or Power Service or something in enough of a quantity that it will melt down gelled fuel,then new filters with Power Service in them,and it might run.Im not sure if you mix number one or kerosene in gelled fuel if it will liquify or not,I dont think it will.You might just change the filter and fix it.Always a good idea in the winter time to have a spare filter for a diesel.To see gelled fuel put a little number 2 in a glass jar and put it in the deep freeze.Once it gells you will see why it wouldnt run.Looks like frozen ice tea.Wont go though a fuel line like that.
