Message Install a car alarm that includes a relay that shuts off the fuel pump. I used a mechanical relay which is more dependable than an electric one. Make sure the relay is well hidden and disguised.

The relay "flips" when a button (lock or unlock) on the alarm is pushed. This poses a slight problem. The alarm can be out of sync with the relay if, for example, the unlock button is accidently pushed twice, the relay goes from off (fuel pump on) to off (fuel pump off). In this is easily remedied by pushing the unlock button again.

When the fuel pump is turned off, the car will run about 3 seconds before running out of fuel.
