oj anything is possible with the combination of water contaminated diesel fuel and below freezing temperatures. Hopefully you have winter fuel in you tank. otherwise at -30°F, you could get the fuel jelling.
I"m not familiar with the details of the Cummins I strongly suspect you might have the water freezing in the fuel tank near the outlet but it just as well could be the fuel filter/ water separator. Do you have a water separator on the engine? If so It should have a drain. Get a blow dryer or a heat gun and if you can heat the water separator and the fuel filter with that you can melt the ice, if it"s there. Becareful though; those things are hot. After you getting them warm, drain them and collect the drainage in a jar and see if you get a lot of water out of them. It"ll settle to the bottom of the jar. Keep heating until you get itall drained. Bleed the fuel system and see if the lines to the injectors have fuel.(Charge your battery well before you bleed the system.)
I have never tried this but there is a product called 911 in an orange bottle(No, I don"t work for them!). You replace the fuel filter and fill it with 911 and dump the rest in the tank and wait a while and it"s supposed to get you going if your filter and fuel tank are frozen.
The best way to avoid the water problem is to keep the tank full because the water gets in bvia condensation. Change your filters before winter and use a fuel additive that has a water disperasant in it. I use PS White or Stanadyne but i"m not plugging either one. teh dispersant will keep te water in suspensiion and if it freezes, it will freeze in the filter and not the tank. Then you just have to chage the filter. Drain your water separator regularly to minimize water in the filter housing. Prevention is a lot better than having the engine stop onyouin the cold Canadian prairie country. It"s not an inconvenience there. It could be life threatening.
