[Lordo]

I am still waiting for the expert on gravity fed water to explain me why the hell water doesn't flow from my tank after it gets empty and I fill it up. It's a REAL CASE, i shake the pipe,kick it, nothing! It simply refuses to flow.
Here's the drawing. It puzzled me for a long time and ever since I don't let the tank go full empty. The reason is not rocket science though.It was just unexpected.

Lordo, gravity fed water expert where are you.Why water doesn't flow from the damn tank which 3m+ above ground???

As for the flow rate.
Put 10 lordos in a 10 different toilets, to shit and flash them simultaneously.Then watch what happens

extend the pipe B upwards past the tank and leave it open, it will flow then.

You are suffering the capillary action, so extend the pipe B upwards past the tank and leave it open, it will flow then.

It may be an obvious question but is the tank sealed tight after you fill it up? Air must be allowed to flow in to allow the water to flow out.

Not sealed tight. It has air holes inside the lid.
Notice the very first time I installed it it had absolutely no problem. The problem started AFTER it got empty and I refilled it. Concentrate on this and you will find the reason.
I was scratching my head cursing, and kicking the damn pipe for a long time...

NB.The gravity fed water expert lordo, obviously has no idea.

Remove the tap and see if it flows, it could be the jumper has jammed or something has got into the pipe and blocked it, failing that is there anyway you can apply back pressure UP the pipe from the tap end.
