Process and system for the rapid and safe activation of fuel pumps

An electronic fuel pump control system, comprising:

• a crash recognition device;
• an electronic fuel pump having a definable fallback level as a first delivery volume value, the crash recognition device being communicatively coupled with the electronic fuel pump, wherein
• the crash recognition device comprises a microprocessor and a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein program code segments that:
• (i) recognize a possible crash situation;
• (ii) define a fallback level as a first delivery volume value, which is assigned to a closing position of the fuel pump, in response to the recognizing of the possible crash situation;
• and
• (iii) recognize an actual crash situation, wherein the fallback level is defined before the actual crash situation is recognized.
