Irrationally paranoid!
That's not how the fuel system works. Excess fuel flows back to the fuel tank and the fuel pressure regulator controls the fuel pressure. The fuel injectors have to get power to inject fuel into the cylinders. There is no downside to the fuel pump running for 3 seconds when the ignition is turned to the on position.
