Yes, you just wire it like another switch to cut power to the relay.
My system that's going on my car as we speak is similar to this setup and I have been thinking about an inertia switch myself. Do you have a part number?

Thanks for this insight, I actually hadn't considered this. I assume this is a safety device to disable the fuel pump in the event of an accident? Does it just wire in between your keyed 12 volt power source and the pump?
I'm just messin with ya lolWhat? 50 psi to a carb, no way.
I was going to try and find a Ranger wiring diagram to confirm.
That is why you wire it like I said in post #30.For what it's worth, I located a manual/wiring diagram for a '91 Ranger and the inertia switch is wired in series with the fuel pump. It's between the pump and the relay. If anyone considers doing it this way (inertia switch in series) then beware that a high capacity fuel pump is likely to draw more current than the switch is rated for (at least the ones found in Ford Rangers).
Well the 3 week delivery time turned into 5 weeks. Then while opening the boxes which were in perfect condition, I found the tank damaged pretty badly. Hyperfuel is using Tanks Inc. tanks. I sent pictures of the damaged tank, and a new replacement was quickly sent out to me directly from Tanks Inc.. The new tank is in hand, I am now beginning the installation. I am in the process of fabricating a mount plate for the fuel pressure regulator that will mount it where the mechanical fuel pump would have been.
Last night while laying under car I was trying to determine best way to run return line to tank. My supply line is a 3/8" hard line which was newly installed several years ago, and mounts in factory locations. My return line will be 3/8" also, I bought proper Red Horse braided hose, but am now considering making a hard line. Most concerning is how to get through/around the torsion bar cross member, as I would prefer not to drill it. Ideally, the best location for ease of install would be to drill a hole through the cross member just below the supply line routing holes. Knowing this is where the cars weight is carried, this makes me nervous, as I would be putting holes 1.5" from torsion bar sockets. Am I overthinking this as usual? Additionally, the idea of running fuel lines below the cross member is not appealing. Any suggestions?
I may call tech line today and ask if a 5/16 return line would be sufficient. If so, I may be able to sneak the return line through the existing holes where supply line goes through.
