Instead of using a left/right fuel selector, could I use two check valves and connect the two tanks into a single
feed?

[LTANK]---|-----T-----|-----[RTANK]

Where | and | are the check valves and 'T' is a T-connector towards the header tank.
The check valves prevent fuel moving from one tank to the other. Any pro's, con's or thoughts?

What is the pressure drop through the valve and the cracking pressure of the valve? Pretty hard to have 'matched'
valves, so one will most likely flow freer...
