I would like some ideas on adding an automatic fuel pump cutoff switch.
In case of an accident, it would be valuable to stop the flow of fuel.

 

I know of two types of cutoff switches available:

 

1. Inertia, which activates when subjected to a rapid change in
acceleration or deceleration. 

 

2. Oil pressure, which would cutoff the fuel when oil pressure is lost.

 

The inertia switch would probably be the best because very little extra
wiring would be needed and the engine wouldn't have to be cranked to
bring up oil pressure to activate the pump.
