As I have been working on my fuel system I started thinking one of these might be a good idea. Anyone else ever used something like this.

Seems pretty simple to install and would add some safety to the overall fuel system.

kinda like Ford's they can be touchy tho, hit a big enough pothole or go down the wrong dirt road and the car will die on you

With D or L jet, your fuel pump stops when your engine stops, and your engine stops when your fuel pressure drops. The nice folks at Bosch were thinking of you, all those years ago! The Cap'n

D-Jet or L-Jet, not my cup of tea. (but good information to know)

I'm using a Holley TBI system with my 3.8 V6 so something like this could be benificial since the stock system would not be available.

The Ford inertia switch is actually quite good, and used on kit car appications quite often. I've owned a '98 Explorer since new, and the inertia switch has never tripped; rough roads, pot hole, et al.

ANDYS,
Thanks for the info, I think I'll drop by the local Ford dealer and pick one up.

As with other technical questions, you're FAR more apt to get the right answers if you let the list know what kind of car, and what engine setup you have, when you ask the question .......................... It's highly unlikely I'm the only one here who didn't know you had a V6 in your car, and we still don't know for sure it's even a 914 .............

never seen em trip on suv's or trucks, plenty of suspension to take the impact, but they trip all the time in cars. when I worked at the auto parts store and roughly 75% of the time people came in looking for fuel pumps or relays for the pump it was actually the switch. and teeners have less travel and are stiffer than your average ford. my friend had to bypass it on his focus after modding the suspension. went off all the time.

all you need to do to make it a real hotlink is to copy & past the following into your signature:

CODE

While I'm interested in helping people by answering their questions, I'm not particularly interested in working very hard at finding out the details I need to assure the accuracy of my response. IOW, if you want a useable answer, it's up to you to ask the question in such a way that it gives me the particulars that I need to make the answer you get accurate and correct. The Cap'n

Simply use the oil sender switch to pull the fuel pump relay. I did this yrs ago on a weber setup. No oil pressure, no fuel.

I've seen Pauls work, nothing short of meticulous and totally magnificent.....

The 930's have a roll over sensor in the CIS intake pendulum that cuts off the fuel pump..
