Where is the fuel shut-off switch on a 1997 ford ranger?

The 1997 Ford Ranger doesn't have a readily accessible, easily-located fuel shut-off switch like some larger vehicles. There's no switch you'll find under the hood or in the cab. Fuel is controlled by the fuel pump's electrical circuit and the engine's computer system. To stop fuel flow, you'd need to disconnect the fuel pump's electrical connector (which requires some mechanical skill and knowledge), or in an emergency, disconnect the battery's negative terminal.
