<span style=""> </span>to turn the switch back on.<span style=""> </span>One<span style="">
</span>one occasion in the middle of nowhere in Montana I felt the car slowing down and failing to accelerate until it occurred to me the active (Autozone) fuel pump was failing.<span style="">

</span>The local Autozone in North Dakota had an identical replacement that I got installed in 15 minutes.<span style="">
</span>It is also convenient sometimes when working on the car with the ignition switch on to be able to prevent the fuel pump from running.</span></p>

<p class="yiv2706403140x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">A fuel-pump shutoff switch is a perfect antitheft device—and easy to install by splicing into the appropriate wire at the fuse block. I have one in my BN7 to address dieseling
after nothing else worked. Simply run the system out of fuel before switching off the ignition. </span></p>

sometime in their lives, in Chicago, where we lived. His solution was to install a manual shut off valve in the fuel line. The valve was hidden behind the drivers seat & operated by a "T" shaped handle which was removable. His theory was that if someone broke
in thru the canvas top & hot wired the ignition, they would only get a block or 2 before the engine would die. The crook would panic & run away.</span></p>

age of British sports cars, I saw plenty with broken vent windows or slashed convertible tops that defeated locked doors. Maybe putting a tracker in the car and an ignition cutoff might be more effective</span></p>
