Best Answer

Vehicles with electronic fuel pumps(electric pumps in the fuel tank)have an impact circuit breaker.If the vehicle is involved in an accident the circuit breaker will open and shut off power to the fuel pump.Some are more sensitive than others and when you hit a pot hole hard it will trip.Look in your owners manual on how to reset it and were it's located.
