I have just been watching them and a thought crossed my mind.
How do they stop the diesel from going solid in the tanks and pipes?

Correct. Though locally-supplied fuel is likely to be formulated for
the local needs. If the engine's allowed to stop, and the whole
vehicle gets cold it's likely to be a case of having to use a blowtorch
on the fuel tank and fuel lines in order to get going again.
