Momentary switch for lift pump?

How hard would it be to wire a pushbutton, inside the engine compartment for the pump? I think it would be handy for filter changes, or anytime working on the fuel system. Tap the button, bleed whatever air out, wherever it is. No more down the step stool, in the cab, rush back..... you know the drill.

Stupid idea?

are you aware that you can just bump the starter and it will run the lp? a couple cycles will fill the filter canister, about 5-10 cycles after an injector change, works great for most.

Yup, But I was just thinking a short burst instead of the 15 seconds or so of run time. I just thought it may be handy to be able to power the pump, without the trip to the cab.
