If you look closely at the delivery end of a pump you will see a internal check
valve that releaves the pressure.

wouldnt that inturn help relieve the unwanted pressure as well? a stocker is
line in and line out, at least the one in dan's link is. and to top it off
just about any FLAPS will have a fuel pump like that.
