You cannot use the check valve to control the pressure but you can use a pressure regulator like the Simflo to control the pressure. I very highly recommend installing a pressure regulator. It will greatly increase the life of a stock lift pump.

The Simflo regulator works well and I think it will easily handle 20psi. The Simflo can handle the flow from a Walbro 392 and they put out 60psi plus.

The Simflo regulator is adjusted by taking it apart, but it is easy to do.
