i hate you.

edit: read replies before telling me that 7 is walled off

but ignoring my loss, if everything is pressurized i think 7 if unpressurized i think 5

The pipe from 2-3 is walled off though.

7 won't ever fill because the pipe from 2 to 3 is blocked off.

Ignoring the walled off stuff, can you ELI5 why pressurized vs not changes things and how so?

my logic was that it's the shortest way and therefore has the least resistance and therefore the highest flowrate.

while unpressurized gravity would take over

Might be an airlock? It's hard for me to predict how fluids will really flow
