What does a fuel pressure safety switch do?
Nitrous Outlet fuel pressure safety switches are a needed safety device that can save your engine in the event of fuel pump failure. These switches are designed to shut off your nitrous system when the fuel pressure drops below your preset fuel pressure.
What does the fuel pump shut off switch do?
This device is analog to an electric circuit breaker, but only for fuel, not electricity. Many vehicles come with a fuel pump shut off switches. The inertia switch is a security measure implemented by car manufacturers to shut off the fuel supply in case of a car crash or accident where a vehicle comes to a sudden stop instantly.
How can I reset the fuel cut off?
This is similar to an electrical circuit breaker in your home which can be easily reset by pushing the button or pulling the leverage down. All modern fuel injection cars are equipped with an inertial fuel cut off switch that shuts off the power supply for the fuel pump if the vehicle is in a collision.
Why is there no pressure on the fuel rail?
If the pressure at the exit side of the fuel filter is normal and yet the pressure on the fuel rail is essentially zero, it’s possible the fuel pressure regulator has failed wide open, essentially preventing sufficient pressure from building.

What are the safety regulations for fuel storage?
Only designated persons shall conduct fueling operations. In case of spillage, filler caps shall be replaced and spillage disposed of before engines are started. Smoking and open flames shall be prohibited in areas used for fueling, fuel storage or enclosed storage of equipment containing fuel.
What do you need to know about fuel handling?
Closing fuel container valves and allowing engines to run until residual fuel is exhausted. Pressure-relief valve openings shall be in continuous contact with the vapor space (top) of the cylinder. Fuel containers shall be secured to prevent their being jarred loose, slipping or rotating.
How are liquid fuels not handled by pump?
Liquid fuels not handled by pump shall be handled and transported only in portable containers or equivalent means designed for that purpose. Portable containers shall be metal, have tight closures with screw or spring covers and shall be equipped with spouts or other means to allow pouring without spilling. Leaking containers shall not be used.
