tex. fuel in col. gelling?

Came to Denver area w/ 90gal of Dallas area diesel.
Got pretty cold last nite(maybe -5*). Went out at 2pm to start my truck. It ran fine for about a minute then died. It fired a couple of times after that, but never would run. Now, it won't even fire.
So far, I've added anti-gel/conditioner to fuel bowl and the tank. I changed the fuel filter and pushed the truck into a heated garage. The block heater is now plugged in. I know that the block heater has nothing to do with the fuel system. I think the problem is before the filter. I can "prime" the filter per owner's manual instructions and it doesn't seem to be filling the fuel bowl.
What else can I do? I have to go back to Oklahoma in the morning.
Any help will be appreciated.
