Where is the emergency fuel shutoff switch for a 96 ford explorer sport?

There isn't a single, readily accessible "emergency fuel shutoff switch" like some other vehicles might have on a 1996 Ford Explorer Sport. Fuel delivery is controlled by the fuel pump, which is electrically controlled and can be disabled by various system failures (like a crash sensor) or by disconnecting the fuel pump relay.

To stop the fuel flow in an emergency situation, your best bet would be to:

* Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable. This will cut power to the entire vehicle, including the fuel pump. This is the quickest and most reliable way to stop fuel flow in an emergency.

There is no easily accessible switch specifically designed for emergency fuel shutoff. Don't waste time looking for one; focus on disconnecting the battery.
