That was probably a Fuel Ice box. The fuel line is coiled inside the box, and you put ice in it to cool the fuel.

I built one of those for a school project a few months ago... they way I did it was to have a fuel line tube coiled up inside a can, which held dry ice and alcohol.

I did test it with gasoline, but not actually installed on my car. It was AWESOME. kept the fuel ice cold. Made it for $15 too, heh
