It's not obvious to me wht you'd do it. Maybe an anti-theft device?
You could hook a switch in series with the fuel pump power line. You could tap into it where it goes into the fuse box.

It's a switch to turn off your fuel pump. That way the car wont run, have to hide the switch so the theif cant find it. Thanks for the replys everyone <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> .

narco, i replied to this on the .com site

you can just cut the fuel pump wire and put in a relay to a switch in the car or a switch under the hood or in the rear wheel well area with a big amp switch externally and no relay.
