A system for cold starting a machine is disclosed. The system may have an engine and a reductant tank. The system may also have a temperature sensor, which may be configured to generate a signal indicative of a temperature within the reductant tank. Additionally, the system may have a controller, which may be in communication with the engine and the temperature sensor. The controller may be configured to increase an operating temperature of the engine, based on the signal.
