Why is this in "The Garage" section. This section is for "Car related general chat & mustang tech. Please See the sub-forums for specific mustang tech."

Also, try living in Canada.

Froze as in fuel line froze? Haven't done that since I was a kid but I have thawed them in the past with a hairdryer and a lot of patience

It's gotta be super cold to freeze gas lines..diesel gels up but gas needs some seriously low temps

Low amount of fuel in tank combined with little water in the metal lines is all it takes

It's been 20s in colorado for the last couple days OP you don't think that people here deal with much colder? Try like negative 25 and have your car start up no problem. Your car is not frozen.

Having an empty tank all the time during the winter with the fiel pump heating up and creating condensation over a long period and 20* weather could definitely fawk some stuff up

Crappy weather on the south side too. Parker area here.

So froze, you dont mean froze the coolant right? I did that once to my race car (can't run antifreeze), weekend before race I loaded the car on the trailer and took it to my trailer storage. Got a freak storm in. Saw what looked like change under the front end of the car, it was almost all the freezeplugs. That was fun, pouding in freezeplugs with the motor installed.

Minnesota, but I'm in Fargo, ND right now. [MENTION=17027]whiplash473[/MENTION] I've literally never had an issue for all my years living in MN. Only weather related issue I've had was a valve stem frozen open lol. But I guess if theres water in his lines or something I can see it, still though, I imagine some exaggerating is going on.
