I teach pilots to turn electric fuel pumps off only when you are in a position to carry out a safe forced landing. In the event of a failed mechanical pump and reliance on the electric pump, the engine will only run for a matter of seconds before losing power. I'm not suggesting this to be the case here.
That's not very far at all! very handy to know and something I can pass on to students
