frozen gas line? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be kivi on  Tue Jan 25 03:01 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I haven't been able to drive my 850 for about 5 days now. It dropped to
-35C for about a week, and me being an idiot, left the gas tank on empty the coldest night.

Inevitably, my car no longer starts. It cranks just fine but doesn't catch for more than a second or two. Even flooring it once or twice I can't even smell any gas, which leads me to believe the gas just isn't getting to where it should be? Frozen gas line?

Since then I've added about 30 litres of gas to the tank with a bit of gas line anti-freeze, but still nothing. So before I have it towed to my mechanics garage to thaw it out, is there anything else I can try? Unfortunately the temperature outside is not rising above 0C anytime soon.
