* Rollover sensors: These detect a significant change in vehicle orientation (like rolling over) and cut off the fuel supply to the engine.
* Crash sensors: These sensors detect a collision with sufficient force to trigger a fuel pump shut-off.
* Fuel pump inertia switch: This is a manual switch, often located under the dashboard or in the engine bay, that can be used to cut off the fuel pump in case of an accident. This is a backup system, not a valve directly at the tank.
The location of these safety features varies slightly depending on the specific year and model of the Ford Ranger. Consult your owner's manual for the precise locations and details of your vehicle's fuel system safety mechanisms.
