The fuel pump has two wires going to it, one to ground and one from the fuel
pump relay.  Running a pair of wires to the dash and a switch that would
interrupt one of these wires would certainly disable the fuel pump.

If you really wanted to get medieval on someone and you have a 2WD, the fuel
pump is very accessible on the underside, just pull one of the terminals off
of it.  This way, a would be thief won't be successful in perhaps finding
the hidden switch.

Subject: Disabling the fuel pump

Would it be possible to put a switch on the dash to disable the fuel
pump? Assuming one could not locate the switch would this be an
effective anti theft (and engine fire preventative) device?
