that mandate would be called safety. With a switched 12V the pump will continue to run in an accident potentially pumping gas into a fire. By using the oil pressure switch the pump will not run without the engine running. In the case of an accident that doesn't stop the engine the pump will feed the engine and it will run without pump gas out in the the environment. If it does pump it out into the environment then the engine stops running, no oil pressure, pump shuts off.

But go ahead and do it your way.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
