The tank was installed later as part of an air door conversion, or someone
went to the trouble to convert a bumper. With a welded on tank, the
instructions that came with mine placed the outlet on the driver's side. On
some later cars though, the front bumper has an integral reservoir, for the
headlight system.
Interior insulation should have foil / mylar on one side only, and should be
placed next to the heat source. IOW, foil side against the floorboards /
firewall for max efficiency. The foil absorbs the heat, then transfers it to
the insulation to be attenuated.
If both sides are foil coated, then the one on the carpet side will transfer
the heat to it, as the insulation in the middle acts as a storage medium.
