I've always been wary of oil pressure fuel cut-off systems (though I'll probably end up with one when I finally install my fuel injection system, since it's built into the computer I'll be installing).

I prefer to have a visual / audible alert for low oil pressure, rather than having my engine "surprise me" when I least expect it (think "chugging up a steep hill at low RPM").


I have a buzzer that alerts me of low pressure since I think I only ocassionally look at the gages. However, it relies on the additional pressure sender switch that I suppose could go bad. It's the same switch that controls my "standby" electric fuel pump. It sure is aggravating though when I have the ignition on and the engine not running.
