In some countries, diesel fuel is not well refined. It may contain wax which can solidify on cool mornings.  There is a trick to avoid grinding to a halt several yards down the road. First pour a kettle of boiling water slowly over the fuelpump. This will help to warm the fuel and melt the wax. You may also need to put a muff on the radiator (but remember to remove once the engine is warm).
