Hi y'all. Have a small stream on my place, I estimate 10-15 gpm and 20 or so feet of head. The elevation drop is over a long distance. I was wondering if it would eliminate Friction loss if I would run the water into a Tank and have a small spout at the bottom of it to run a turbine, versus the friction of 1000 feet of pipe. We have an excavating company and I occasionally have access to big free fuel tanks that we remove from defunct gas stations. I'm talking 8 feet in diameter and 16-20 feet long.What if I would set that tank upright so it is 20 feet tall and run water into the top, and then run a pipe out of the bottom of it directly into the turbine. Would I be improving myself any? Thanks
