Gas line frozen in car or something else?!?

Hello, my car hasn't been able to start since last night. I figured it was because of frozen fuel lines because it has been so cold and it has happened one other time. Plus, my car was on empty. So I put about 2 1/2 gallons of gas in and tried starting it and nothing. It turns over spin know its not the battery. It just sounds like its not getting gas. I waited until today to see if it would warm up some and I put more gas in it and also some HEET. It would still will not start so I put it in the garage to un thaw some where its like 40 degrees maybe alittle more (its 10 degrees outside) .. It has been in the garage for 4 hours now and it still will not start.

What else can I do or what else can it be?

    Assuming that's the problem, just keep doing what you're doing. Sometimes it can take over a day to thaw out any ice that's in your fuel system. It could take longer since it is only 40 degrees in your garage (only 8 degrees above freezing). Is there any way you can raise the temperature?

    It very well could be some other problem (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, etc), but that's assuming that fuel is the problem. It would take more diagnosis to figure out what's going on.
