Default Fuel selector or two check valves?

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?

Rob
