A check valve as shown would not seal against backflow to the tank after the engine has been shut off for a short time. If you got a check valve that did work, I.e., very tight and sealed against the valve seat; you would have to overcome this resistance with just the mechanical pump. It will not work for this situation. I did this stuff for a living.
