The jelling occurs when paraffin flakes form. This starts at about 20 deg and additional types of paraffin gel as the temp gets lower. It becomes a problem when enough flakes have formed to impede fuel flow. That will vary with many variables involved. Mercedes and Volkswagen for many years recommended adding gasoline to prevent fuel flow stoppage, up to 30% gasoline in some cases. I have personally used 10% gasoline in other engines with no problems of any sort. When my two-cycle weedeater/chainsaw mix gets a little old, I just put it in the tank of my Diesel tractor.
