Larry, you would find that if you would attach your hot lead to your electric
fuel pump to the alternator lead on your battery isolator, htat the fuel pump
wouldn't run except when your engine is running. This is also a safety
consideration insofar as the fuel pump will also quit running if you should,
heaven perish the thought, be in a collision or a roll over. Then you won't have
an electric fuel pump pumping fuel out a broken line and possibly feeding a fire.

run the pump when starting has oil pressure

this is the recommended method by AC
