"Reports that I've cream vans cannot afford the fuel to keep their I've cream cool and the trade is going to die out..
What's going on here guys.. "
At a guess... I'd say that the price of fuel means that it costs more to run an ice cream van.
You're welcome. |

I'd say petrol prices are pushing up the costs of running ice cream vans. |

This is a serious problem for ice cream vans who need the diesel to run the engines that power the fridge and freezers.
I can see a time when all ice cream vans will be using a separate diesel generator outside, running on much cheaper red diesel.  |

You can’t buy red diesel anymore. |

I never knew that.
Maybe they'll shift over to LPG before that fossil fuel gets outlawed next.
Nationwide Fuels has a whole page to explain what is going on at the moment and talks about HVO aka artificial diesel.. |

Tell me about it. If fuel prices go any higher I'll be forced to start drinking vodka again.
Oh, crap. I meant whisky... |

There is always a way to beat the system. Buy diesel at the pumps and add a couple of drops of red food dye..
Hey Presto..  |

Good. It's not proper ice cream anyway.

Last week a body was discovered in the back of an ice cream van in my neighbourhood. It was the the driver, and he was covered in hundreds and thousands, suger stars and chocolate flakes. Seems he must have topped himself..... |
