it depends what time period your van is.
assuming you're in the fuel injected time period, there is an "inertia switch" that serves to cut off fuel flow in a collision. tapping into its wire would be the easiest choice.
most of the books say its usually mounted on the right inside of the firewall, but on an 87 f150 i worked on, it was behind the clutch pedal.

ok, your owners manual should tell you how to find it, or someone here might know.

some vehicles have a sticker "if vehicle will not start, check fuel pump shutoff switch located __________" - if you find this, you should find the switch pretty quick.
