To the mechanics out there, how long can I run an electric fuel pump without starting the engine?

I put a new battery in my '67 bus and have to set up the stereo and clock. It takes a while to go through the settings. It would be better if I did not have to start the bus and let it idle. But.............

Thank you!!

Just wire it properly and you won't have to worry: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=797722&highlight=pump+relay

This is a better option, i've installed a few of them.
