Have a fire system...but only for the motor. Actually investigating available inertia switches for shutting down the pumps in a hard hit.

My point exactly...if the motor keeps running, it keeps pumping with a mechanical. If you cut off the electrics, everything shuts down. Neither answers it all, I guess...chicken or egg. May not "need" the electrics, but you no longer "need" a mechanical either. Oh well, viva la difference, but always FTF.

You're right about starvation, but some of those pump mountings hanging below the tank raise some questions about impacts from debris as well. I never let the tank drop below 20 gallons in this car, but the little 10 gallon fuel cell/electric pump (front/high from tank) in my (Fred's) Butler never starved. Not sure I want to pick up all the crud at the very bottom anyway.
