Rocking is my usual method along with the addition of fresh high test gas--but if it the water/ethanol stratified layer is frozen what do you do--wait until spring?  At what temps does it freeze?  Advice from those of you in Canada and the northern states (and cold areas of Europe and elsewhere) would be welcome.

That should warm it up?
Maybe with some of the light on the outlet fittings, but not too much?

good luck!
