WTF is this????

ok, so I am walking up to my 76 dumptruck and see something under it and take a look, I see this and notice a leak.




I pop the hood to find this.




In case you can't tell, that is my fuel pump. I drove it 2 days ago and filled up the gas tank. I used non ethanol. I am assuming it is ice, although it is in the 40's today and has been last several. Any ideas?

Do you have AC? Have you been using it? If you are low on refrigerant this can happen. I've seen it with the unit in my house anyways.

No a/c. It was driven into town 2 days ago for tires, then filled it up and drove it home 10 miles. Hasn't been started since.

Does the fuel filter leak a little? I believe it is caused by your "fuel filter sweating". The white crystal growing are ice, due to the temperature being lowered extra by the evaporation of gasoline??? Does the stuff smell like gas?
