I don't think the inertia switch will help much stopping fuel coming out of a ruptured tank. Lol.
Agreed, but it might stop the engine before 13.5 gallons of gasoline are ignited by an exhaust leak (like the one you are currently working on) and burn your arse up.
Please excuse the crudity of this DeLorean as I didn't have time to repair it yet.
