wouldnt it be controlled by the ECU and the motors demands for fuel? if anything you could run your own lines with a switch

The only way that works is with EFI cars. The computer controls the fuel pump relay. See http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/tech/engine/images/88-91eecPinout.gif for the location of the tan/Lt green wire (fuel pump relay control circuit). On EFI cars, ground this wire & the pump runs whenever the switch is on
