Check the line good from the tank to the pump for any signs of trouble. Other than dropping and draining your tank, don't know much else to do other than wait and see.
As far as the winter blend fuel being green, Most diesel is dyed green, and it is not a sign of antigel. Stations dont have too much to worry about cause the fuel is insulated in the ground tanks, and does not get cold enough under 20 ft of dirt to gel, but when its in your tank, and the wind is howling around the temp drops quickly.

Most places out where it gets cold really cold only have "treated fuel " when I used to drive over the road I used to fill up at half a tank once with #2 and next time with #1 and never used an anti gel and had no problems But I also had tank heaters .
