I don't think you will have a problem.  I ran two very high flow Bosch pumps
mounted in the fuel cell, and had the fuel electrical shut off  wired thru a
solenoid that handled the current required.  This was acceptable in the Merk
for 10 years.  Wanting additional protection though, I used a production
ford inertia switch to positively shut down the pumps in event of an
accident.  I am using the same device on the lakester, and may even add a
rollover shutdown device as well.  A positive shut off valve was not
required of me (or the car).
