- If you have an electric fuel pump, rig the switch to that. Particularly (SP?)
- on carburated veh.s, the thief may be able start it once, but it will die
- quickly, leaving him frustrated, and possibly vulnerable to being caught as he
- continues to try to start it.

- You can usually use a cheap switch as fuel pumps don't draw a lot of current.
- Either hide the switch under your dashboard near the fuse block, or near the
- fuel pump (which is usually near the tank, under your back seat, or accessable
- from one of your fenders).
