Truck of shame

[Johny boy]

After a fantastic  weekend  firstly visiting the Westfield opening day and met yet again truly great people. Then the following day out with  Julie up in the peaks and on my way home .Ended with  power loss at high speed  and found my self on the slip road  awaiting rescue.once home found out it was just a safety switch to the fuel pump.was triggered by vibration so going to go bolt and nut checks

At least it wasn't anything too catastrophic. Fingers crossed the nut and bolt checks sort it.

I had exactly the same thing ending the same way. 
I took the switch out it’s a damn nuisance.

Precisely the reason I've never fitted one.

Me as well.  Good idea, bad execution.  Caused me no end of troubles.

Mine's done 28,000 miles without triggering. 

 

I'd check the source of vibration just in case you've got something giving you a warning sign. e.g. CV joint bolts to hubs etc.
