Default Help me ID this part?

Can anyone help me identify this part(large round part on left of the 1st picture)? Took it to a local all in one tire/mechanic shop and they didnt know. Im guessing that its part of the Dual Fuel conversion kit but I could be WAY off.

Its mounted on the passenger side wheel well, the Heater hoses were cut and routed through here (one started leaking that's what got me curious) the previous owner plugged the un-needed side of the Y connectors with bolts and thats where its leaking, im just going to replace the Y with a straight connector.

Anyone have any ideas what it is?

I noticed that as well once it cools off and i can replace the leaking Y connector im going back to get an Air Cleaner.

Right now its running on gas but i've got a lever and Primer to switch between Propane and Gas.

It is the Vapouriser Unit and part of a LPG conversion. It converts the liquified petroleum gas into the gaseous state befor the injection.
For more information search for "LPG conversion".

Thanks i was able to locate it yesterday searching for Impco Model E:

Dual fuel kits for carbureted v-8 and v6 motors, as seen on the Extreme 4X4 t.v. show!!

We now have just our dual fuel kit for carbureted v8 and v6 motors using a standard 5 1/8 inch air cleaner opening.(Most 2 and 4 barrel v6 and v8 motors) They are designed to eliminate the need for a huge propane tank or worries about running low with a big motor. These are all mechanical systems with very little electronics. There is a switch that turns on either the propane solenoid or the gasoline solenoid. It also makes a great anti-theft device. There is also a cable that you pull to open up the propane carb so that it doesn't run too rich on gasoline. This setup mounts directly on top of the old carb. Keep in mind that this raises the profile by about 5 inches. This kit does not tamper with any of the old emissions devices and is easily removable.
This kit is very popular for street conversions. It must be carbureted and local laws on smog vary from state to state. You would need to call your state to find out.



These will handle up to 360 H.P.

These are NOT for late model, fuel injected motors. Carb only.
If you don't have smog, this is street legal.
Price:$895
