Other than the minor effects from frictional resistance to flow how does 12-15 feet of hose differ?
I think it's different in two ways. The shape of the 55 gallon drum is different from a 3/4" hose 14 feet long, and there is a pump at the end of that hose providing relative suction. The effects are small but the pressure difference is small too.
Thanks
