Default Cold Starting Issues - 300D

I have a 92 300D that has just started to have starting problems when it is cold. The issue is also getting pregressively worse. Any thoughts? Thanks.

50 degrees at the lowest. It does seem fuel related, also noticing lower power, hesitation until the engine is warm. Thanks.

are you running diesel 2 yet? Diesel 2 is the winter varyant which is more voliatle and supposed to contain more anti gel additives. i would beck your fuel filters as when it gets cold the flow is even more restricted thus a loss in power. i always add some diesel 911 with antigel every fill up. it really helps in the winter because i run B 20 all year round
