[QUOTE="RustyC, post: 262334, member: 1997"] Great thread. I work for a Caterpillar dealer. Every machine I have worked on for the past 15 year has a main power disconnect switch. I have never seen one fail. The switch is installed between the ground post of the batteries and chassis. Through the switch and everything electrical stops. These switches can handle even large twin starters, I figure 600+ amps and live their life in harsh elements. The switches are all metal contruction. I have one mounted in my Jeep within reach of the driver. Through the switch and the ignition,fuel pump,ecu etc stops. This switch would cover all the elctrical issues of engine and fuel pump running after a fire. Catch cans, firewall and having a plan still need to be implemented. The switch part # is 7N-0718 and runs about $70 at your local Caterpillar dealer. [IMG]http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h435/RustyCaten/010.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
