It's purely down to flow resistances, which give rise to back pressures.And to pumps which give forward pressures.

Your input is very good IMO actually. I semi understand they way it works but have a hard time understanding that anything that goes up won't be affected by gravity more than anything that goes down. I never really understood how gravity can't affect something that is going up no matter how it is applied unless in an anti gravity enviroment. Seems supernatural to me.

I am learning though!!! In any event I still think a divider in the inlet would help split the flow both wayd and take out some of the resistance variables. If that made sence. I am going to sleep now.
