Couldn't you just wire it the way the stock one was Maybe run thicker wires but not sure it is mandatory.

NO, that defeats the purpose... Run the Power wire to the battery (or the alt post), run 10 gauge - (dont forget a fuse) to the relay you ARE adding... and use the stock fuel wire (coming form the stock relay) to switch the added relay, and in effect turn on your pump (S)

The curremnt drawn will be from either the alt post, or battery DIRECTLY... The stock lead will simply switch the new relay and allow the current to the pump (s)
