Default Electric fuel shut off

Since my repower I've been running without the antisiphon valve. Don't want any resistance to flow using the cool fuel pump.

For safety I need either that or electric fuel shut off, so leaning that way. Could wire direct or use a relay.

Anyone using them?

I wouldn't use an oil pressure switch, would have it turn on/off by the key.

Sea Rays use electric fuel valves instead of anti siphon, also.

I have no experience with these.

If your still using EFI then wire it to that pump with a rely.
