SOURCE: locate fuel filter, and safety switch to fuel pump

The filter is located at the rear seat, you have to remove it first, then you will see a cap attach with some screws. Inside that cap you`ll find the fuel filter. Before you change the fuel filter you have to release the fuel pressure first. To do that, first find the FUEL PUMP RELAY in the main fuse box located in the engine. Once you located open the fuel door and take off the cap and leave it open. Start the engine, take off the FUEL PUMP RELAY and leave the engine stop itself, when this occurs turn off the key, the you can take off the filter and changed it

There is no power going to the fule pump

Check fuse, and fuel pump relay. If still no power then it could be a fuel cutoff switch. Some cars a switch that turns off if the vehicle is tilted like from being towed or bumped in the front or rear end as a safety feature!

What safety shut offs does my 2000 Chevy Tahoe have?

Safety shut off for what ? Like ford has inertia fuel shut off switch ? None really , has a computer controlled fuel pump relay . If your in a accident an the engine stops running the PCM /ECM - engine computer will not energize the fuel pump relay if it doesn't see a input from the crankshaft position sensor . This will stop fuel pressure or flow . Other then that their are no safety shut offs . Now then would you like to state the problem you are having ? A no crank no start or a crank no start .

Where is the fuel safety shut off switch

If I am understanding you want to disable the fuel pump?
There are two ways one is the fuse and two the easy way is the fuel pump relay located right side under hood.

There is no safety shut off like Ford's Inertia switch.

Do you hear the pump in the tank?

Leon

1997 ford escort 55 van location of fuel shut off switch

Hi Peter:The fuel pump shut-off switch stops the fuel pump when the vehicle has been involved in a collision or major jolt. If the vehicle does not start, it is possible that the fuel pump shut-off switch needs to be reset.
If you see or smell fuel, do not reset the switch or try to start your vehicle. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle and call the local fire department or a towing service. This and other details could be find in the Ford Escort Owners Manual...

Where is the fuel pump shut off switch located in a 2000 pontiac sunfire

GM doesn't use a fuel pump shut off switch, the safety system works like this, fuel pump is turned off if the engine oil pressure goes to zero with the key in the run position. Ford uses a shut off switch that is activated by an impact exceeding 3 G's (3X the force of gravity), it is called the fuel pump shut off inertia switch.
