could anyone understand this?

yeah ive seen this old method before.
you basically just use a can of some sort to surround a line, like your fuel or coolant, and fill that with ice.

its a very cheap quick way to achieve a result, though its not going to work as well as a true icebox, becuase the ice has to conduct the heat through the hose, and it doesnt have long to do it as the fluids move kinda quickly, not to mention they will only be against 3-4 inches of actual hose.

ok that makes more sense. id still MUCH rather have a true ice box though, seems it would be 100 times more effective
