yellow wire w/ green stripe coming off your fuel pump.
or IMO, it would be better to cut the ground to the pump so you don't have to run a high amperage switch... but then I'm not sure if it's good for a pump to not have a ground due to static electricity inside a fuel tank??? I dunno, just a thought.
Most ppl run a 25A toggle switch and cut the yellow/green wire. The fuse on the fuel pump is only 15A so 25A switch is a little overkill, but better safe than sorry.

Not that you need anything this crazy, but it's interesting. I made this up, planning to put it in my CRX, but I found I could easily incorperate this same concept directly into the other electronics I'm making for it.

If you google 'Bosch relay', there are a few good descriptions of how the 5 contact Bosch auto relay works.
You can have mine if you want: The only thing I'm missing is the mag switch. They're relatively expensive, so I used the magswitch in another project.
I tested it out on a bench supply and it works fine.

You dont need anything crazy....Just but your line and tie in each end to a switch. There your done....If you want extra protection run 2 switchs to different spots.
For those who dont have it installed yet, The car will run for about 1-2 seconds before pretending to run outta fuel.

These wires are under your rear seats, directly under the centre.
To take out your rear seat, take the back off first, and then unbolt a couple bolts near the back, and just lift the bench off.
This is something you can do even if it is first time.
