No answer for why it is freezing.

That is weird.
Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

Keep in mind this is pure speculation.

I do know that pure diesel doesn't freeze.

It will gel.

Heat does not reverse gellation.

Heat will thaw ice.

incorrect, it will freeze, but at around -50F

something is not right.  i would try wrapping the pipe and using a low-watt heater.  my gut feeling is you've got water in the line though.

kerosene has a higher freezing point and doesn't just work as anti-gel due to being a solvent.

one of my old neighbors had a fuel oil tank on his house. 

and a hand pump on it.  filled up his truck all the time with it -- an F250

he never had a problem, hard to look in that tank tho

There is a big fine if your truck isn't registered as farm machinery.  Some states have that designation.  MD does.  AZ did and my Uncle ran all their trucks as farm machinery and drove them everywhere.

Finally talked to a mechanic friend over the weekend.  Here is the scoop on the 6.0L.  Weak head bolts that should be changed out for ARP studs and better gaskets - lots of blown head gaskets and warped heads on these motors.  Worthless EGR system.  Totally cokes up and can mess up performance and other systems (like coking up the turbo).   There are many EGR delete kits on the market. Lots of coked up turbos that seize.  Finally the injection system uses oil pressure (hydraulic electronic) to work so frequent oil changes a must or you loose your injectors.  I think I'm going to take a pass on this one......

So now it is either wait for a low mileage 2003 and a half or older van or a 2008 and newer low dollar van.  They switched to the 6.4 in 2008.  No EGR, twin turbos (no variable vane stupidity), completely redesigned head, and back to the tried and true high pressure common rail injection.  Downside with the 6.4L - it now has the diesel particulate filter in the exhaust and has to be run on ultra low sulfur diesel (no trips to Mexico.......).  Sometimes I hate "progress"........
996 forks, BoomTubes, frame sliders, CRG bar-end mirrors, vizitech integrated tail light, rizoma front turn signals, rizoma grips, cycle cat multistrada clip ons, pantah belt covers - more to come

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken
