Agree with that. For biodiesel at around freezing, and with no purge of diesel, you need to heat the filter, nothing else. Not ahead of it, not the lines. Just the filter media. Even at that, it might wax up on overnight cooling. The only way around that is to purge it out, basically back to a two-tank. But certainly I'd try some kind of filter heater first.
