Electric fuel pumps are dangerous .

[Grumpy old man]

I keep seeing multiple threads about installing an electric fuel pump that most of these new engine swaps require and some of these set ups are scary at best , Hot wiring in an electric fuel pump to your ignition won't stop the fuel flow in a crash , Even a separate fuel switch is dangerous , What I'm seeing is no concern for safety and just doing whatever it takes to make the engine run , No mention of auto shut offs , No mention of running hardlines , multiple sections of regular rubber fuel lines connecting pumps and filters to partial fuel lines , Not one mention of adding in an auto shut off , So What are some of the auto shut off options you've seen ? People are used to all the safety measures that are built into the late model cars/ trucks that they are pulling these engines out of and until your involved in a serious crash in one of these old trucks you'll be wishing you had one installed . If heaven forbid you do have a crash and go face first into the steering wheel or solid mounted metal dash an automatic fuel cut off could save your life . I understand not everyone driving these old trucks are mechanically inclined , But if you get knocked out hitting the dash your not going to be thinking I've got to turn off the fuel pump . With no air bags or crash sensors you need to add in a fuel safety shut off . Always think safety first .
