    Regarding your last sentence: as long as the other end of the first tube is lower than the fill level of the tank, you won’t have to worry about the rag or the second tube or the pressure escaping once the flow has started; the siphon will sustain itself

      you’re absolutely right (swear I’m not a bot). if anything, kinking it would lead to a vacuum forming which would counter the siphon. good call out.
