I have seen one somewhere , it hook's up to the oil pressure outlet. and when there is not any oil pressure it will cut the ground to you fuel pump. I will let you know if i find it. i need one for my turbo. either that or i add a regulator with a bypass and tee it back behind the fuel pump. sorry not much help. I have a simple shutoff valve on my 2 gas tanks on my buggy.

If you are looking for a fuel shut off for an electric pump, snatch one from any late 80's early 90's FORD. Commonly reffered to as an inertia switch, this would work well in a street driven buggy, but not in a off road buggy. http://www.autotech.deanza.fhda.edu/dri ... ig1_sm.jpg

You could also check any nitrous supplier as they usually carry fuel cut off switches to run with a nitrous set up. Look on EBAY :D

Try Tognottis (on Fulton and El Camino). I forget the part number but it's a Holley part. When oil pressure drops it kills power to the elec fuel pump. I think they call them safety switches?
