anyone know...what's this?
Hi all,
I seem to have a leaky thingy... it appears the fuel goes in one side and coolant goes in the other...mounts on the top front of the engine right in front of the fuel filter.
My dealership up here (Canada eh) does not show this part on his system for a part #, I have found this before because my beast is an American model... imported from somewhere south of me.
I am getting suspicious that the coolant is getting contaminated with fuel... is that really bad or just bad?
Anyone help ppplease?
Also... just in case I can't get it figured out... how do you attach pics??
Dave

2 ways to attach pics, start a gallery here from your user CP tab at the top left, load them in then click on edit gallery. From there click on the pic and it will give you codes to copy and paste. Or you could start a photobucket (or similar) account and upload them there. It will aslo give yo codes that will allow you to attach them here.
It would really help us figure out what is going on.

Well that solves that... I was guessing a heat exchanger and wondered if you guys had em down there.
I am going to haul it out and fix the leak... just a quick couple of fittings and some hose I reckon.
Any thoughts on screwing up my coolant if it leaked in there?
Also, any idea what pressure the fuel line might be running at? I will need to make up some sort of hose to link the 2 lines together and don't need it blowing up.
Thanks again for looking guys!

I would want to know where the leak is because I would think the two fluids shouldn't normally be co-mingling so the hard plumbing of the piece itself may have a leak, not the hoses.

I say just yank the thing out & return to stock. Plenty of folks run way up there without anything like that. Just make sure your GP system is up to snuff and you might consider running 5W-40 syn oil for the winter.
