I presumed mine was originally a petrol but I could be wrong as it was converted to Ford v6 back in Germany many years ago.
Does a genuine petrol van not have any relays in that junction box?

Thanks for that, so its probably not used any more and certainly wont be required for my Subaru conversion.

Does anybody know what feeds i should have coming into the engine junction box and what should be returning forward. Only engine functions i mean , not lights etc.

My wiring has been butchered and im trying to identify everything
