A fuel freeze mitigation and/or prevention system includes a power generator (102) configured and adapted to be positioned within a fuel storage tank (104). A fluid mover device (106) is in electrical communication with the power generator. The fluid mover device is configured and adapted to be positioned within a fuel storage tank to mitigate or prevent fuel freeze in the fuel storage tank. A method for mitigating or preventing fuel freeze in a fuel storage tank includes harvesting energy with a power generator positioned within the fuel storage tank, charging a battery with the harvested energy, monitoring a fuel temperature inside the fuel storage tank, and turning a fluid mover device positioned within the fuel storage tank ON or OFF depending on at least one of a manual command or the fuel temperature inside the fuel storage tank to mitigate or prevent fuel freeze in the fuel storage tank.
