This should not have a emergency shut off they are on gas engines not diesel engines 
if you have the electronic injectors it could be the shitch on the high pressuer oil pump is bad or other problems with high pressure oil system pump lack of oil in resovor ect  also check all fuses and relays under hood  these are not as user frendly as the older 7.3 s  were good luck

I'm not sure if my last one posted so i'm reposting.
First check your glow plug relay to make sure it is not burned up, it sits on top of passenger side valve cover, if not there is an electronic fuel regulator/valve that sits on the frame rail, driverside by the front fuel tank, it controls tank selection and fuel return, if it is bad basically it doesn't select a tank to draw fuel from and it won't start. Usaually when this goes bad there are some fuses under the hood that blow, so check those also. hope this helps

My 1999 PSD 7.3 F350 has the inertial fuel shutoff switch. Either that or they stuck the sticker in the engine bay out of habit! I will check the Shop Manual tonight and see what I can find. It may not be the same on your 1996, but I bet it is.

Fuel safety switch location or other reasons it won't start after crash.

Generally speaking, only Ford products have a safety switch or inertia switch for the fuel system. This includes some Mazda models.
I would start with the basics and check for power to the coil and the fuel pump relay.

Ran out of diesel now vehicle won't start

This is not unusual on a diesel. What happens is there is air in the system. If this vehicle has an electric fuel pump loosen line where fuel enters injection pump then turn ignition key to the on position and watch for fuel to appear and then quickly tighten line before turning off key. Then try to start. If does not have electric fuel pump will need a second person. One will loosen line and watch while other cranks vehicle until you get fuel and tighten line before the other person releases ignition switch unless vehicle starts first. If that doesn't do the job do this where line hooks onto each injector. Probably will not have to do this to all injectors but could run rough until all the air gets out of everything. I have farmed with diesel tractor for 25 years and dad I drove the gm vehicles with the 5.7. You normally don't start a diesel without bleeding the air out of the lines although some will self bleed most won't. Hope this does the trick.

Engine won't shut down

Look on the back of the injector pump for a wire connection. If there is no wire there find it and reconnect it. If it is there, the ignition switch may not be stopping power to it.

Can you tell me where the emergency shut off switch is on the 05 ford fusion 1.4 petrol please? had a small tip last night and the engine wont fire.

Its in your owner manual, or go to motorcraft.com, pro center, tech info, owner manual and look it up.

FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

This device stops the electric fuel pump from sending fuel to the engine

when your vehicle has had a substantial jolt.

After an accident, if the engine cranks but does not start, this switch

may have been activated.


The fuel pump shut-off switch is

located in the front passenger

footwell area in the right upper

corner.


To reset the switch:

1. Turn the ignition to 1 (LOCK).

2. Check the fuel system for leaks.

3. If no leaks are apparent, reset the

switch by pushing in on the reset

button.

4. Turn the ignition to 3 (RUN).

5. Wait a few seconds and return

the key to 1 (LOCK).

6. Make another check for leaks.
