Yes, if a fuel pump does not have an internal bypass it is standard practice
to provide a bypass with a check valve.

I found a reasonable priced racing fuel pump ( Aeromotive 11203) that 
provides 18 PSI with a max fuel flow of 80 GPH.  I only need 35 GPH but 
the PSI is right on.

The only catch is you can't pump through it like a Weldon or Duke pump. 

Would it be OK to plumb a one way valve parallel to the pump to allow 
fuel to flow using the mechanical pump when the Aeromotive pump is 
turned off?
