Where is the emergency fuel shut off switch in a 96 Buick Roadmaster?

There isn't a single, easily accessible "emergency fuel shut-off switch" in a 1996 Buick Roadmaster like you might find in some other vehicles. Fuel delivery is controlled by the fuel pump, which is electrically powered and controlled by the engine computer. If there's a fuel leak or fire, your best bet is to:

1. Turn off the ignition: This will immediately cut off power to the fuel pump.

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable: This is a more certain way to completely cut off power to the fuel system. Locate the negative (-) battery terminal (usually black) and use a wrench to loosen and remove the cable.

These are the most effective methods to stop fuel flow in an emergency. There's no readily available switch to do this directly.
