Running the fuel through the radiator cooler is a common diesel thing in colder temps... the block heater then helps heat some fuel up too, the fuel acts as a very small cooling catalyst for the lower portion of the radiator and keeps the fuel from gelling up as well. I've also seen some people run a coil of steel fuel line over the outside of a hard coolant line, achieving the same effect.
