<VV> 1967 Corvair Monza fuel pump

[jimster1]

My electric pump only runs in the presence of oil pressure via a pressure
switch and an impact switch that kills the pump in the event of a sharp
jolt.  BTW, virtually every new car sold is equipped with electric fuel
delivery in one way or another.

I'm unable to provide a direct answer on that as I've never had an electric 
pump in one of my Corvairs.  On the other hand, what are the issues 
regarding burning you car (and perhaps yourself) to the ground in the event 
of an accident where the electric pump continues to run?

Are you agreeable enough to say that there are +s and -s on both sides of 
this question?

Later, JR
