Thumbing my way through the book, I again see that the 2010 season will 
require an inertia fuel pump cut off for electric fuel pumps. So, I have 
a question regarding the preferred wiring. Anyone on the safety 
inspection crew listening? Dan?  Here is the question: the inertia 
switch can be located in two different manners. One, it can interrupt a 
relay control signal and turn off power that way, or two, it can be 
mounted in the fule pump power lead directly to turn it off.  The 
absolute safest woul dbe in the power lead but the other way is also 
pretty satisfactory.   In that case I would just put the inertia switch 
in line with the power switch which turn on the relay. A final 
thought...will it need to be tested or is the owner's word good enough 
that it worlks? After all we don't fire the safety system to see it it 
works, lol...

Any thoughts or comments on this, especially from an inspector type?
