Yes you can, BUT for safetys sake fit it with a fuel cut off switch that is triggered by vibration/crash etc.
You can wire it directly to position 2(run) of the ignition, through relay, using the ignition simply as the switching side, ie terminal 86 on the relay, 85 being earth, 30 being battery supply(via fuse), 87 being live out put to pump.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO THIS UNLESS IT IS THROUGH A CORRECT FUEL PUMP CUT OFF SWITCH, in case of accident etc.
