Fuel Booster Pump 853 hot wire??

My 853 sits in the shop and is used very little. Most times I have to squeeze the bulb and prime it after it has set for a few days. (the S185 has heat & ac should I say more)
I just picked up a Mr Gasket eletric fuel pump for deisel. Looks like it would be pretty easy to hook the hot wire to the fuel cut off on the injection pump. It's only hot with the key on. Pump use's a 5 amp fuse. Anyone what's the amps on that wire?
thanks dennis

Best way to do it is to ADD a Power Relay for your electric pump. Use the fuel cut-off hot wire you mentioned to be the trigger for the relay. Then run a fused wire direct from the battery to the relay and then to your electric pump. Any auto supply will have the $5-6 relay and the wiring I described will also likely be printed on the package. The power draw of the relay is negligible and won't affect your all important engine kill circuit-Dick

We never got to make a full pull fuel pressure started dropping up around 5k, I bought the racetronix pump and hotwire kit. No track times yet I

This may not be relevant, but we were having a fuel problem with a 753 and picked up an electric fuel pump just to get it up to the shop. In short, the pre-pump (also called lift pump or transfer pump) was bad but the interesting part was that we had to by-pass it for the electric pump to work (the assumption being that in its failed state, the pre-pump acted like a restriction in the fuel line). I am not sure if this is reasonable but to put it another way; when using the electric pump prior to the pre-pump we could not get enough fuel to the injector pump. When by-passing the pre-pump, the engine ran fine.
Later we replaced the pre-pump and removed the electric pump from the system (you can follow this on my 753 post).
