Where is the emergency fuel shut off valve on a 2001 Kia Sportage?

There isn't a single, easily accessible emergency fuel shut-off valve like you might find on some older vehicles on a 2001 Kia Sportage. Modern fuel systems rely on other safety features to prevent fuel leaks and fires in the event of a crash, such as pressure relief valves and fuel lines designed to rupture in specific ways.

If you're concerned about a fuel leak, do not attempt to find or manipulate any valves yourself. Contact a qualified mechanic or tow truck immediately. Improperly handling fuel lines can be extremely dangerous.
