fuel selection switch question

[bigmike]

Long story short, I'm looking for a "on", "on" switch for my mule. I have an electric fuel pump so I want to be able to run on the fuel and when shutting off, turn off the fuel and "turn on" the ground to shut off the motor.

I put in a DPDT switch for now but want a switch similar to the original "accy" switch.

I found this switch on Saturnsurplus web site.

Does anyone know if this is a "on", "on"???

thanks,

Yes, it will turn on two separate circuits, SPDT type, although it has 4 connections, only 3 are used.
It is used to turn on the left or right fuel tank pump in some applications (xm757).

Wouldn't that be DPDT? SPDT will turn on two things and turn off two things!!

The switch referred to above is SPDT. A DPDT consists of two SPDT functions (6 terminals).

A SPDT won't work.
the supply voltage needs to be 12V for the fuel pump and "ground" for the engine kill.
You have 2 different sources.
A fuel selection switch won't work now that I think about it. Again, I need two different sources.

Anyone know of a military switch, that will fit where an accy switch goes, that will work?
