Default ING Direct for Emergency Fund?

I am thinking of opening an ING Direct account after reading about them here on this board. I was wondering if they would be a good place to keep my Emergency Fund? I am working to get my EF to the minimum $1,000. It was there and then the engine in my van seized up, so the money quickly evaporated.

I have $350 right now that I could deposit into it. It is currenly sitting in our savings account at our local bank and is making 1.25%.

Is this money liquid enough that I can use it if (when) another emergency comes up? What is the experience of those that have taken advantage of this type of opportunity?
