To your, literally, bottom line question . . . and keeping in mind, more likely . . . No.
More quickly, yes, if the true temperature of the air is low enough to gel the fuel in calm air in the first place.
Say you have a fuel mixture that gels at 10*F. You can leave that tractor sit out in 15* weather in a howling NW wind. It will not cool below 15*.
