Where is the emergency fuel cut-off switch for a 2002 dodge durango?

There isn't a readily accessible, single "emergency fuel cut-off switch" like you might find on some racing vehicles or specialized equipment in a 2002 Dodge Durango. Fuel delivery is controlled by the engine's computer and various safety systems. In the event of a serious accident, the fuel pump will typically be shut off by the vehicle's safety systems.

If you're concerned about fuel leaks or need to shut off fuel flow in an emergency, you would need to disconnect the fuel pump relay or the fuel pump itself. However, this requires expertise and isn't a simple task. Incorrectly disconnecting these components can lead to additional problems, and you should only attempt this if you have mechanical experience and understand vehicle electrical systems. It's also important to have a fire extinguisher nearby when working with fuel systems.

Instead of searching for a non-existent emergency switch, focus on safety procedures for accidents involving fuel leaks:

* Evacuate the vehicle immediately.

* Move to a safe distance.

* Call emergency services.

If you suspect a fuel leak, have a qualified mechanic inspect and repair your Durango.
