I too prefer an electric fuel pump, so when I designed my dash, I went back to something I liked in the military aircraft I used to fly. Of the dozens of switches in the cockpit, a few were guarded by red covers that served two purposes. First, they drew attention to the critical switches that might need attention during an emergency. Second, they were installed so that closing the covers moved the switches to the default position you'd want during an emergency. So, in addtion to the big red battery disconnect switch on my dash, I have red covers that will shut off the switches for my ignition and fuel pump when closed.
