fuel-pump inertia switch: A normally closed, manually reset switch that opens if the vehicle is involved in an impact over 5 mph, or rolls over, turning off power to the fuel pump. This safety feature prevents fuel from being pumped onto the ground or hot engine components if the fuel line is ruptured or the engine dies.
Now i know what was being talked about here :)

Suggested Repair
Reset the fuel-pump inertia switch, usually located in the trunk on the left-hand side. After an impact over about 5 mph or a rollover, this switch opens and cuts power to the fuel pump until it is manually reset.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a Ford Windstar asked where the button is to press after a wreck when the vehicle will not start. Experts identified the fuel-pump inertia switch, which opens after an impact or rollover and must be manually reset, and said it is usually in the trunk on the left-hand side.
