Default Does the person who identifies this get it for free?
Peter,

Have a look at the attached images. I am fairly sure that it is an "evaporator" which is part of the kit for the WASP flame thrower as installed in a Universal Carrier. I do not have access to a parts list to verify the part numbers but from the research that I have completed FUL appears to be associated with Flame Thrower parts.

I would say Colin has it.

I was darned if I could think of a reason that you would want to heat up gasoline to the point of evaporation. But a flamethrower would be a good reason.

Default Thanks Colin
The person I bought this from (along with a NOS unused road wheel)

said they pulled it off a carrier 20 years ago that was due to be scrapped

from a yard on King St. east in Toronto. Your Dad was one of the group.

He thought it might have been a flame component.

Thanks for the confirmation.
