Yup - that's the story. One of my tractors has the tank heater (antifreeze) below the fuel filter. So once the tracotr gets warm - or is plugged in - heat travels up to the fuel filter & I never had much problem with that tractor ever gelling. Was my first diesel, so I never understood the problem - too dumb to know better.
Other diesels now, one gelled up on me whewn I got out in the wind & turned so the wind was hitting the filter, keeping the engine heat away from it. Had to nurse back to the shed, as it was 10 degrees & was forcast to get much lower in the following 3 days. It ran better, but not well, once I got it turned out of the wind, but with things jelled it was very starved for fuel & was difficult to keep it going. I had some anti-gel in it, but obviously not enough.
Fuel line route & fuel filter location would have a lot to do with it.
