Cuz if the flapper swings both ways it's just going to let the fuel go back to the other side and the car will starve

Doesnt have to be a one way. The bottom of the door will hit the tank, it won't be able to close anymore and yes everything else you said is correct. When going straight the weight of the door will make it hang touching the tank and the fuel will help to close the door. Look at the first pic I drew. The door will hang resting on the tank. The magnets will be mounted more towards the center while the bottom of the door will be more towards the passenger side of the car letting gravity work for us since the tank tapers down from the center.
