Fuel pump ?

Fuel safety cut off switch?
One of my work trucks (Ranger) had a red button under dash on pass side that would stick some times. I think it was to cut fuel off if you had a crash.

Update.

Truck has been running fine but this morning i decided to leave it running while filling up because I didn't want to deal with it dying again. Put the filler in. Truck goes to running like shit and dies. Fill it up and it won't start again. But I pull the intake off and let it vent a little and it starts. Definitely thinking its the issue mentioned in post 2

Truck ran fine the rest of the weekend, had a couple of fill ups with no problem. I think that valve got some crud stuck in it from stupid ethanol in the gas. I haven't been running the truck very much so I think things are getting gummed up. I added fuel treatment to a few tanks and everything seems good. I added marine ethanol stabil to the truck when I parked it on Sunday.
