Hotwire Fuel Pump - how?

I need to empty my tanks. The electrical system is undone entirely. Can I just hook up a positive line from the battery to the pump harness? Or what else is easy? The car is the 03+ variant with the pump up top.

Here is the wiring diagram for the fuel pump harness from my '04. Should be able to dump the appropriate voltage and a ground straight to the harness and be good to go.

I have this off the boost a pump. Not much else I can see to tap into other than the harness along the driveshaft.

You can apply 12 volts to terminal 30 at the pump relay...if electrical system hooked up just jump pins 87 and 30 at the relay !!

I tried running directly to the pins on the adapter at the boost a pump. No luck.

I also tried jumping the pins at the relay. Also no luck. This was tried with the key out, and also in.

Not sure where to go from here.
