On a 2001 Mercury Cougar :
The fuel pump shut off switch ( inertia switch ) is located in the drivers
foot well behind the kick panel ( there is an access hole )
* the kick panel is the interior trim panel , in front of the front door , beside the persons feet
According to the 2001 Mercury Cougar Owner Guide : ( the fuel tank holds 15.4 US. gallons )
No carburetor , it's fuel injected
I believe it is in the drivers footwell behind the kick panel and that there is an access hole through the kick panel to reset the switch
The fuel pump does not normally have to be "reset". If the vehicle is in a crash that causes the inertia switch to trip, the switch will have to be reset before the fuel pump will run.
The fuel tank capacity should be 58.5 liters or 15.4 gallons
Synthetic oil can boost your horse power. Also fuel additives.
On a 1999 Mercury Cougar : The ELECTRIC fuel pump is INSIDE the fuel tank It is installed through an access hole in the top of the fuel tank
