As soon as the power is interupted the relay opens again, and cuts off the pump.

Sounds like a good and convenient idea.. but if the car was hot wired at the ignition switch, wouldn't your relay also be activated? I wouldn't mind simplifying my system as you did, but would like to make it as difficult for a thief as possible.
