Fuel Pump Question

I need to know if while the engine is running the fuel pump alternates on and off or if it stays continues on until the engine is turned off.
Thanks

If the engine is turning an om617 MB diesel injector pump is suppose to be pumping fuel.
BTW, on other cars with other engines it might vary.

I was not precise: I am talking about electric fuel pump.

Typically speaking, an electric fuel pump runs as long as the engine is running. Some of the newer cars use a PWM "duty cycle" to control the speed of the pump, but it will always be running.
