Must be laundered crap it’s run on. Red is probably the safest diesel in NI, as you can be sure it’s not been mucked about with!!!

Google search came up with this as possibility?
Normally the wax is a liquid in the fuel, however, when diesel fuel gets cold enough the wax starts to crystallize (i.e. solidify). If the temperature is sufficiently low, enough crystals will form to block the fuel filter and the engine can stop through fuel starvation.

I dunno, our temps never get anywhere near close enough for this. In colder countries their diesel has a different mix for winter
