ice cream truck?
« on: July 15, 2003, 11:40:00 PM »
Ok, swiu was out chyll'n the other night and saw an ice cream truck and a thought came into mind...

Ice cream trucks have freezers and the truck is old, chances are the freezer is old and some old freezers run off NH3...

But swiu does have some douts...

It could be freon...not sure if freon is stored in the type of tank...

the tank looks like a propane tank with the weld down the middle...well the tank is about a lil skinner than a propane tank but taller than a propane tank, its white and has a huge silver valve/regulator on the end with thick black hose...?

Does this sound like a NH3 tank...?

Others dout it could be propane but dosnt look like a propane tank and why would a ice cream truck have propane...makes no sense to swiu...

Well swiu was just asking for thoughts, opinions, and/or any type of tricks, tips on acquiring this dream...?

I'd like an Ammonia Ice-cream, please!

Even if the truck did have an ammonia based refrigeration unit, does it make sense that it would drive around with an extra tank of ammonia because of that? So that the ice-cream man can re-fill his unit in case it would leak? Duh?

And besides, as it is not your ice-cream truck, you are almost on the verge of discussing future illegal acts (theft), and would thus break the rules of this place (posted on the front door) - not a good thing to do when you are new around here...

Also, swiu wouldn't see the tank as an extra storage tank incase of a leak, it's not just sitting there, its strapped down and has a hose with huge regulator on it...!!!!
