Where is the fuel cut-off switch on a 98 tracer wagon?

There isn't a readily accessible, easily identified "fuel cut-off switch" like you might find on some heavy equipment or race cars on a 1998 Ford Tracer Wagon. Modern passenger cars don't typically have this feature. The closest thing would be disconnecting the fuel pump relay or the battery's negative cable to stop fuel flow in an emergency situation. Neither of these is a dedicated "cut-off" switch.

If you need to disable the fuel system for safety or other reasons, you'd need to either:

* Disconnect the negative battery cable: This is the safest and easiest method for an immediate fuel shutoff. Locate the battery (usually under the hood) and disconnect the negative (black) cable.

* Locate the fuel pump relay: This requires a bit more mechanical knowledge and access to your vehicle's wiring diagrams to identify the correct relay. Removing the relay will prevent the fuel pump from operating.

Caution: Disconnecting the battery or the fuel pump relay will disable other vehicle systems, not just the fuel system. It's crucial to understand the implications before attempting either of these actions.
