If I'm not mistaken.. the fuel pump SHOULD cut off after a few seconds, unless the engine's running.

i don't know if you have one, but it could be the oil pressure sending sensor near the oxygen sensor on the driver side. It sends the oil pressure to the fuel pump. It case of an emergency, it will shut the fuel pump off.
