Tap into the bottom of the fuse block and use the lead that controls the fuel pump. That way the scavenge only runs when the pump is working. allows you to leave the ignition in the keyed state without having the scavenge running.

If you dont know how to wire a relay, just google it. Been a few years but I think it's like this: The sense lead is controlled by your switched power source (in my case the pump wire). The other lead goes to battery power and the last lead goes to your pump. The moron who originally did mine got the leads wrong and caused a battery drain that depleted it after a few days. I had this constant battery drain for a few years! I was happy when I figured that one out!
