If your gas light is on and the temperature outside is well below freezing, will your gas lines freeze up?

if they do, car will not run. it's from condensation/water in tank. adding gasline antifreeze BEFORE cold weather is a good preventive. usually does not happen unless temp goes below 0 and is exacerbated by wind chill. if it happens find lowest point in line and heat to try and relieve.
