Hanley mentions a component I hadn't considered and learning more about his system on this thread I should have remembered.
In his case - and perhaps others - most everything engine related goes through an oil pressure safety switch. The rated amperage of the switch is a factor too.
Since I don't think there's much choice regarding the amperage of oil pressure switches, if there's a need, a N.O. relay of sufficient ampacity is a solution.
