ABSTRACT:
A fire prevention device for motor vehicles, having internal combustion engines, including a hollow cylinder containing two electrically conducting expansible coils separated by a shatterable sheet of material, electrical leads from the two coils one to ground and the other to the electrical line leading to the vehicles ignition system, and means for fastening the cylinder adjacent to vehicle fuel tank. Upon impact, the coils short out the ignition circuit causing the vehicle engine to cease operating, thereby diminishing the risk of post impact fires.
