While the hoses look as nice as those you might find on AC systems, I 
think these parts look like an electric fuel pump and filter/water 
separator, probably for a factory installed Eberspracher gasoline 
heater. That would have taken up a lot of space in the frunk and 
there should at least be some holes in the body for exhaust into the 
LF wheel well and for hot air into the passenger compartment. There 
would also have been a control somewhere on the dash for this.

The really amazing thing to me is that the brackets that hold these 
parts appear to be completely factory installed. I've never seen 
anything like this, but I've seen very few heaters.

Anyone know if Ark Mirvis (Heaterman) is still around? He would know.
