I think either way, the preferred method is after the fuse, not before it.

Is fused circuit going to a relay or is it going directly to the fuel pump?

If the fused line is going to the relay, I think you would be ok. Basically you are tying into the trigger wire for the relay, not the load wire for the pump.

If the fused circuit is going to the fuel pump directly, then you want to be after the fuse, not before it. But if this is the case, you need to make sure the kill switch is rated and wired with to handle the full load that the fuel pump could see.

What is the rating of the fuse?
