  Just dump a gallon of gas in at the service station.  No cutting 
your lines, thins the fuel in seconds to minutes, is even recommended 
in the earlier owner's manuals even up to 25%!  Doubt you were 
iced shut, just stiff fuel.  Gas thins it right down.  #1 diesel or 
kerosene does about the same but takes a 20 to 30% mix to do the 
same as about 10% gas and doesn't lubricate all that much better.
