The setup on my Striker kit car didn't have a one way valve and it seemd to work OK but it would ensure maximum oil delivery to the bearings if the Accusump was triggered. The Accusump was T'd into the return line from the oil cooler. The issue I had with this setup was that the sandwich plate didn't have a thermostat to control oil cooling. If one was fitted from what I see the Accusump won't be re-filled properly uinless the thermostat is open. On a road car you should always fit an oilstat/thermostat to protect you engine and oil.

What I've done is to use a water cooled sandwich plate instead and the Accusump is now plumbed directly to the oil pump exit gallery. The oil won't flow back through the ouil pump as i've tested it.
