Electric Fuel Pump Shutoff

[texasz]

I know that there has been disucssion on this topic in the past for those who add an electronic fuel pump to their early Z. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with the item being sold in this eBay auction?

No experience with that one and this wasn't on a Z but when I put the 40 DCOE Weber on my 320 pickup, I used a switch that fed off the oil pressure for the electric fuel pump on it. Not this one but it was very similar:

Oh, and after looking at that one I recall that I did use a momentary switch for starting.....

texasz,

I installed an inertia switch on my 240Z a few months back. I really like this one: http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecId=87. They use them on a lot of Porsche Race Cars. The inertia switch will shut off the power to the fuel pump if the car receives an impact in the areas of 10-12g's or higher. Great product, and very safe

You can get an inertia switch out of any late model car in the salvage yard. $5 should get one. Most are found in the trunk area . Just remove it and cut a few inches of wire on the harness side of the plug. I use this and the oil pressure switch in my projects with electric fuel pumps.

Thank you for the feedback and ideas on this type of switch.

So you are using both the inertia and oil pressure switches in the same car? Interesting idea.

I second that, seems like a double guarentee
