That is an interesting idea with the thermostat.
I think the Accusump just pushes oil into one of the lines going to the oil cooler, I had anticipated that the oil pump's gears would have impeded the flow of oil back into the sump.
Though now I think a little more I think the Accusump is intended to be used while cranking or driving so any pressure feeding back to the sump would be against the oil pump's flow. So, in that case, you would be quite correct the oil would seep between the gears in the pump and make it's way back to the sump causing a loss in pressure.
As you suggest if I could size the non-return valves appropriately and install one on the between the engine oil pump and the radiator (before the "T") and one between the electric pump and the radiator also before the ("T") that would stop the back flow.
Good Idea. Thank you.
Love this forum, it's a great way to get clarity.
Cheers
