Section 10-01A: Fuel Tank, Filters, Tubes and Electric Fuel Pump, Gasoline Engines | 1996 F-150, F-250, F-350, F-Super Duty and Bronco with Gasoline Engines Workshop Manual |
WARNING: IF YOU SEE OR SMELL GASOLINE AT ANY TIME OTHER THAN DURING FUELING, DO NOT RESET THE INERTIA FUEL SHUTOFF SWITCH.
CAUTION: Do not reset the inertia fuel shutoff switch until the complete fuel system has been inspected for leaks.
In the event of a collision, the electrical contacts in the inertia fuel shutoff switch open and the fuel pump (9350) automatically shuts off. The fuel pump will shut off even if the engine (6007) does not stop running. The engine, however, will stop a few seconds after the fuel pump stops. It is not possible to restart the engine until the inertia fuel shutoff switch is manually reset.
To reset the inertia fuel shutoff switch, depress the button on top of the inertia fuel shutoff switch.
Switch Location
The inertia fuel shutoff switch is on the right cowl panel just forward of the door below the instrument panel.
