The other dangerous thing about having the fuel pump wired directly to the battery is, if you are involved in an accident and the fuel line ruptures the fuel pump will keep on pumping fuel.

It is a safety feature for the fuel pump to stop working when the engine stops.

Is it possible to bypass the relay, or does it control the fuel pump?

[Bazza1972]

and does the fuel pump alway run or does it cut out when prssure is built up?

Always runs as I understand ...

Controls power to the fuel pump ... figure you'd only bypass it for testing (but easier to use another relay of the same type for this) ...
