I saw this very tidy VW in Thailand recently and couldn't figure out what the addition of the pipe and bottle was.

Any ideas ?

Never heard it running, we were passing in a taxi and I spotted it so I didn't even get a chance to look closely at it, just thought it looked odd.

Weird, looks like an oil catch tank.
There's something behind the exhaust, too, plumbed in. Blue, with what appears to be a pipe wrapped around it.

Some kind of alternative fuel setup? Could be an exhaust-heat-based evaporator for LPG - but I'd have thought Thai had high enough ambients to make that unnecessary. Some kind of HHO setup?

A camelbak with coffee in it, with a exhaust heat exchanger to keep hot, piped through to the driver via plastic tube/straw.

Why is this not done more often?
