And yes, I know it is a diesel engine, the part I am referring to is the item mounted on the black plate with the hoses running to it.

Don't know but it looks like a coolant bypass filter of sorts or something for the coolant.

Looks like propane injection. I haven't seen one on a diesel, but the 2 larger lines would tie into the radiator lines to keep things from freezing up, then a left/right bank feed as wall as intake.

I've seen propane conversions on gassers so this is just a guess.

You mean it will run just on propane or is it injection for a power-addon?

Gas motors can be converted to run strictly on propane. Diesel motors can use it as an injection in addition to the diesel.

There also appears to be a shroud over something in the rear of the passenger side. Perhaps a veggie oil setup or something? I don't know crap about that stuff.

Hey guys! I was reading the oasis report and there was an issue with the fuel... it says "ONLY ABOUT 20PSI FUEL THAW LINES INSTALL FUEL HEATER LIT PER TSB 040404 ROAD TEST" ... could this be a fuel heater?

That is what it has to be.

A propane system would have an electrical solenoid and feed vapor into the CAC tube.
A WVO system would probably be a little more complicated.

That 'shroud' over there comes on '02 and newer models.

And I wasn't kidding, ech0 wins. It's a fuel heater.
