I live a little farther north in New England, and no, I have never heard of a frozen fuel filter. But I never let my gas tank go lower than half-full and never buy spot-bought gasoline at the off-brand gas stations.
If you have been driving the car for some time until it is almost out of gas, OR /AND you always buy the cheapest gas wherever it can be found, you might have both water in your gasoline and managed to clog up your inline fuel filter. I don’t expect any ice, actually, just a cold unignitable mixture of water and gasoline.
It’s cheap enough to replace the filter and add a dose of dry-gas. Then keep the gas tank at least half full with if not brand name, at least quality gasoline.
Try these and let us know.
