  • Patent number: 5861799
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and system for preventing improper use of a car. The device uses an electronically controlled fuel shut off system located internally of the fuel tank. The system requires the operator of the car to enter a private identification number or PIN code in order to operate the vehicle. In addition, the electronically controlled fuel shut off system is remotely activated allowing law enforcement officials, upon encountering the car being used improperly, to shut off the fuel supply and disable the car. Upon entry of a security code by law enforcement officers, the circuit board stops the flow of current to the fuel shut off system, thereby halting the flow of fuel through the fuel line and shutting down the engine.
