1997 Subaru Impreza 4 cyl All Wheel Drive Manual

I gthink I have a frozen gasline. I have put about 1/2 gallon of methal hydrate in the gas tank and left a small heater under the hood over night. It is about -15 C out. It turns over ok but just will not fire. Is there anything can do ie spray either into the manifold plenam to get it to fire. Or do I just have to wait till Spring or tow it to a garage to thaw out?

To know if it is a fuel issue u can use a small propane tank and remove a vacuum nipple from the manifold and supply the engine with a small amount of propane. Try and start the car and if it is fuel delivery related u will know because the car will run. You can buy small propane bottles with a valve at your local parts store usually.
