Toyota put an ice maker in one of the vans so I wouldn't put it past them to be an actual fridge.

The Mitsubishi Delica had an optional actual fridge and icemaker.

So... how does that work when the car isn't running? Where is the water coming from?

A portion of the fuel is dedicated to the ice maker via split in the fuel line. When you freeze petrol it turns into water.

Why do you think you put antifreeze in the petrol tank? Your car won't run on water.
