Is this a gas feed for the heater?

If it helps anyone, it appears the hood is '35 from the trim on the louvers.

Looks to me like a picture of a computer screen.

The obvious part is a T in the fuel line, but what's the passenger side of the gizmo look like?

I'm not familiar with the gasoline powered heaters so it will be interesting to follow the conversation.

Sure looks like it. Usually they take the fuel from the carburetor bowl.
I've seen one like that on a Model A because you can't take fuel from
the bowl because it is gravity fed.

Yes, there are different setups on the fuel feed.

As already posted (#5), it is a Southwind fuel feed to the heater. They had two different types of fuel feeds you could install. One connected directly to the fuel bowl on the carb, the other one used a T-fitting in the fuel line to supply a separate bowl that attached to the carb. You have photos of the second type with the T-fitting and separate bowl attached.
