Maxville Truck Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 It may be a fuel water seperator but I think it is a fuel "heater" also a few of my MR's had those on and they had a loop of coolant from the engine that ran to them. both of the ones i had started leaking diesel fuel ended up that the were made of cast aluminum and the bracket that held them to the frame corroded them to the point of leaking...
