I would run a switched line with a fuse direct from the battery to the pump.
and an extra ground from the pump to the body.
As soon as the car kacks flip the switch.
Don't forget to turn it off if you turn off the car or have a crash
You will have defeated all the safety systems that shut down the pump.
This is dangerous but compared to getting caught out in traffic it pales
The closest thing I have to your car are 1991 405s
I forget where the 405 pump grounds and I know it is not inside the left rear wheel well
like the 505.
But I got screwed up for a day changing parts on a rusty 505 when all it had was
a bad ground in that wheel well.
I was also told by a Peugeot service rep that bad grounds were the cause of about
80% of fuel injection problems..
I had a problem with an 85 505 turbo
It would kack for no apparent reason or time
turned out there was glitch in some of the injection ecus from day one
It was 7-8 years old when this was finally discovered fortunately the
initial complaint was on a work order from the Peugeot dealer dated
4 yr and 10 months after the 5 year emissions warranty started.
They cheerfully gave us a new ecu.

Steve,
This is a nasty problem !
I had this same problem on an 85 N9T engine with only 1 ignition coil.
It took me a few years until I just caught on to the problem.
Same thing would happen. Car would run just fine and all of sudden
shut down. I would check for ignition and it was fine. Must be fuel
cut off. I checked all the wiring and it looked good.
Then one time at night when the thing was running, I noticed a faint
glow from the high tension lead on the ignition coil.
What was happening here was that the high voltage would snap over to
the primary side, the 12V input. and put a spike on the 12V. This in
turn, got into the injection ECU and cut off the fuel supply.
I could prove this by just putting in a rolled up paper napkin between
the high voltage output and the 12 V. I could go forever and have no
problem. But remove the paper and at some random time, maybe in a week
or month, the car would shut down. I have since replaced the coil.
This may or may not be your problem, but you have 6 coils.
