Engine driven fuel pumps are typically lubricated with fuel. The boost pumps need to be on to do that. Don't know the 120 but I know Pt6s are only allowed to operate with the boost pumps off for a max of 10 hours. More than that and pump comes off. Boost pumps need to be on even during engine maintenance such as compressor washes. My two bits worth.
