Is there a way for them to keep the ice cream frozen with the engine off? Is it a separate system?
- FateOfNations 5y agoA gasoline- or propane-powered auxiliary power unit (i.e. generator) would be a much better power source for that than the truck's diesel engine.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 5y agoWould a typical cheap gasoline generator (small and likely unoptimized engine) be better than a modern diesel car engine?
- odonnellryan 5y agoProbably not. Cheap gas generators use a ton of fuel.
- odonnellryan 5y agoI dunno if that is really accurate. A diesel engine is really just a generator.
- woodruffw 5y agoElectric perhaps, but I'm not sure about a gas generator -- two-stroke engines tend to be very polluting.

- fastball 5y agoGet a big battery, charge it at night.
- throwaway984393 5y agoPutting dry ice in the coolers should do it. Stuff's so cold that if you don't separate food container from dry ice with newspapers or cardboard, the food container gets frozen.
