Expert Reply:
7-way trailer wiring includes a +12V auxiliary power circuit that can be used for a range of purposes from powering an electric jack to topping off a trailer-mounted battery. This circuit is handled by the contact at the 1:00 position as you look at the vehicle's trailer socket. The ground is at the opposite pin, the one at the 7:00 position. Please refer to the linked photo.
For an easy way to access this power circuit to operate your fuel pump you could wire in a 7-way plug like # H20046 with butt connectors # DW05745-10 or even one with an included wiring junction box # e99011 to your pump. You would need to connect the two leads from the pump motor to the appropriate terminals inside the junction box using ring terminals # DW05705-1 and simply plug it in when you need it.
