An electric pump is dangerous and a waste. Dangerous because it will be pumping away while your upside down or on your side. They make mechanical pumps that pump far more fuel then we will ever need.
I don't know about any nowadays car still running a mechanical pump though...(maybe in the US?). And these days those running an electrical one, are all provided of a "shock switch" which in case of an accident automatically kills the pump (and eventually stop the engine). Easy to install afterwards too, such a switch.
