AFAIK, Boeings use the fuel-oil heat exchanger exclusively for fuel warming. That is the case with 747s, at any rate.

A C-172 is unlikely to be flying at a temp of -37C, so even cold soaked, the fuel would not be at risk of freezing. At that temp (or even 20 deg warmer), the pilot would be more at risk!
