Maybe an ice cream man/lady could answer this.

So the ice cream van sits there running for say 8hrs a day mostly in hot weather ( air con or fans running ) but yet you never see them in a petrol station?? Also where the hell do they go when not being used as I've honestly never seen one apart from when serving people!! I once asked an ice cream man and he said, "we all hide in whippy land" Cheers.

Large capacity diesel tanks, refuelling when everyone else is sleeping.

My van was always filled up once a week early sunday morning at Asda, and lived all of its non working life in a large lockup (that I still have) to keep it secure.

Cheers mate, are ice cream vans expensive then?

Have not done it since 2011 and the Base Merc van was £20.000 before conversion when it was built several years before that, probally a lot more now. Also remember it was filled with stock too, so not something you just left parked on the road.
