gravity feed
Downhill liquid delivery
Gravity feed is a system that uses the natural downward pull of gravity to move liquids or materials from a higher container to a lower point, without pumps or mechanical assistance.
Common in fuel systems, paint sprayers, and medical IVs: The carburetor runs on gravity feed from the tank above.
As a verb, to gravity-feed is to supply material this way.
