How is the flow of fuel controlled (physically, not logically) ?
Would it be possible for the 'valve' controlling the flow to form a point at which pressure was reduced, thus cooling the fuel even more and maybe causing ice to aggregate?
A small restriction could then, under some circumstances, become self perpetuating
