A $16 fix sounds better right now than a $100 and up pump fix, and who the hell enjoys dropping an AW11 fuel tank? I've heard that's a hellish process...

it has been sitting, and for a while. I was also thinking that perhaps the gas lines are frozen, but as it warms here, I doubt that to be the case.
Gas doesn't freeze unless it's very, very, very cold, so cold, that it essentially doesn't happen in the real world

Unless you meant frozen water in the fuel lines.

And yes a fuel filter can actually cause that big of a problem, happened to my brother, in a similar situation. He'd bought a ranger for it's engine, and it pretty well wouldn't start 90% of the time, but a fuel filter did it (well it got it to start) the previous owner had ran with no air filter... so it ran, but not well.
