Automotive/Frozen gas line

Question
I filled my tank and it was spitting and supperting, so I put water treatment in it, but when I went to start it this morning it was not getting gas. So I put more treatment in it and it still will not get gas. Will the treatment I put in thaw the line? What can I do?

Answer
Water treatment?Dont think im familiar with that for frozen fuel lines.Best way is to put the car indoors ,such as a garage and let it thaw itself.I wouldnt advise any kind of treatment to thaw it out.If you cant get into a garage,i have seen people use a small heater and put it under the car .A blow heater or space heater will work.
