basically its a switch that turns the power off for the fuel pump, no power=no fuel=no go
if ya need help installing one send me an email and ill give ya a step by step process. i dont think tgs have a electric fuel pump though so it cannot be done on them.
cheers

Tf and Tg's are the only gemini's that came out with mechanical fuel pumps so u can't put a fuel cut out switch. Unless u install an aftermarket electric fuel pump and then just connect a switch to it to turn it on or off, but i don't see the point of it ur betta off gettin an imobolizer or something like that. Cuz you might forget to turn ya pump on and wonder why your cars not starting. Just my opinion though. I have no idea how the mechanical fuel pump works though don't know if you can disconnect it and hook up an eletric on, or just leave it on and hook the electric on in the boot from the fuel tank.
cheers mate, hope this helps a bit

So I spose you're thinking of something different than the idle stop solenoid on the Nikki of all models that stops the fuel flow to prevent run on?
