I'd guess this would help with that issue by not running down the pressure.

I'm pretty sure there's an anti-backflow valve in the fuel line, intended to maintain fuel line pressure when the pump is off. I'd suggest web searching to learn how the fuel line and pump system are configured and where is that valve etc. Likely a mechanic who works on lots of Hondas will know exactly where it is and related tips. I haven't yet had the pleasure(?) of learning about the Civic's fuel pump details; I had to learn re. our old rear drive Volvos which had electronic fuel injection and pumps all by Bosch.
