The fuel pump relay ensures the fuel pump runs only when the
engine is running. This ensures you won't be spewing gas in
the event of an accident. You can bypass this safety feature
by jumping the relay, which forces the fuel pump to run all the
time.

Directions should be in the audifans.com archive.  Search
on "fuel pump relay jump" or "fuel pump relay jumper". You'll
find things like this:
