Several Japanese and European cars are designed that way.
I appreciate the timely response.

The inlet pressure for the valve will be stock TBI pressure, no worries there. The return pressure might be higher, but unlikely since the return should be free flow returning to the selected tank.

I figured this would work, many diesels operate this way, low pressure, high volume lift pump supply to the injector pump.
