Abstract
An impact sensitive fuel supply control system comprising a fuel cell and a fuel line connecting said fuel cell to an engine, an electromechanically activated valve connected to said fuel line, a fuel pump located proximate to said engine, an impact sensative mechanical limit switch coupled to a limit switch locator mounted on or adjacent to said fuel pump, said electromechanically activated valve and said impact sensative mechanical limit switch in series in an electrical circuit which is interrupted when said switch and said limit switch locator are dislocated.

An impact sensitive fuel supply control system, comprising:
- a fuel cell and a fuel line connecting said fuel cell to an engine;
- an electromechanically activated valve connected to said fuel line;
- a fuel pump located proximate to said engine;
- an impact sensative mechanical limit switch coupled to a limit switch locator mounted on or adjacent to said fuel pump;
- said electromechanically activated valve and said impact sensative mechanical limit switch in series in an electrical circuit which is interrupted when said switch and said limit switch locator are dislocated.
An impact sensitive fuel supply control system for race cars, comprising:
- a fuel cell and a fuel line connecting said fuel cell to an engine;
- an electromechanically activated valve connected to said fuel line;
- a fuel pump located proximate to said engine;
- an impact sensative mechanical limit switch coupled to a limit switch locator mounted on or adjacent to said fuel pump;
- said electromechanically activated valve and said impact sensative mechanical limit switch in series in an electrical circuit which is interrupted when said switch and said limit switch locator are dislocated.
An impact sensitive fuel supply control system kit for increasing crashworthiness of race cars, comprising:
- an electromechanically activated valve;
- an impact sensative mechanical limit switch coupled to a limit switch locator, said limit switch locator sized such that it may be readily mounted on or adjacent to a fuel pump;
- said electromechanically activated valve and said impact sensative mechanical limit switch in series in an electrical circuit which is interrupted when said switch and said limit switch locator are dislocated.
