I like this. However a simpler solution would be one or more switches in circuit to the fuel pump relay fuse. I replaced the fuel pump relay fuse in all my cars with this. They are all hidden and at least one is within easy reach in case I’m carjacked. One press and the car dies immediately as I exit and run. This is sadly now a real threat and need in Chicago.Relays have other uses than what’s been discussed, including the ability to add multiple normally-open and normally-closed ”dry“ contacts.
I am considering adding a solenoid valve on the fuel line that I can wire to two auxiliary switches, then set in an on/off combination that’s necessary to open the fuel valve. I may also add a switch hidden in the cab or under the body somewhere and use it and one or more of the auxiliaries. Again, just thinking about it at this time.
If a would-be thief tries to steal my Bronco they won’t get far before running out of fuel unless they have the switches set to open the fuel line up. It’s peace of mind when parking with the top and/or doors off.
