Fuel Pump Inertia Switch | EFI Safety Shutoff | Universal Ford-Style
Adding EFI to your classic Bronco or Ford truck means stepping into modern performance—but don’t overlook modern safety. This Fuel Pump Inertia Switch is a simple, proven safeguard that cuts power to your electric fuel pump during a hard impact or rollover. It’s the same style switch used in factory Ford EFI systems, giving your build a reliable mechanical backup in case things go sideways on the road or trail.
Unlike aftermarket EFI systems that rely only on ECU signals, this switch physically interrupts power to the pump—helping stop fuel flow even if wiring is damaged or the ignition stays on. It’s a small addition that can make a big difference when it matters most.
Pro Tip: Mount the switch in a vertical position with the red button facing up. This ensures the internal inertia mechanism works correctly and prevents false trips or failure to activate during an impact.
