Just one of these off of for a bay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163375163425 Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
I think you’re talking about an inertia switch; it cuts the pump supply in the event of an impact. Deefer66 has a fuel cut off valve - not the same thing.
^this. The things in the boot of old Sierras were “crash” switches, possibly with a ball bearing and a spring in them. Modern cars do (depressingly) appear to have a crash signal from one of the ECUs, driven off an accelerometer.
I was assuming my crash would stop the engine so pump and cut off come in... Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Rule 1. You must never crash for obvious reasons. If someone crashes into the back of you that's not so bad and the engine would probably stop if it was serious enough to cause a petrol leak?
It was called an inertia switch, no need of one if you fit the engine activated fuel pump relay, does the same job.
Not quite the same job; one stops the fuel pump if the engine stops, the other stops the fuel pump if the car stops – suddenly.
You can get inertia switches meant for landrovers that look quite an easy mod guess it's just go in line with the feed for the pump. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
I wish you'd all quit it with the relay blocks. I've got heaps of them badly mounted throughout the engine bay - 2 are zip tied to the Voltage regulator.
I fitted one of these with my electric pump when it had carbs, it's used for lpg set ups. It did the job. Quite expensive though. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/332055657571
Very neat...but might get dowsed with rain coming through the vents? All the cool kidz have relay sockets, Steve
Hmm, hadn't thought of that. Good point, I don't know how far water or how much water gets in there. I left some length in the tails so it could be moved. I was struggling to mount it higher and keep the relays facedown. Also, I have an aversion to making holes in perfectly good bodywork.
