  I believe topper tank works in similar fashion to how Ancients (Romans)  were able to make water flow up a hill: hydraulic flow, once established inside a closed pipe of size X, will continue under atmosperic pressure, as long as the rise isn't beyond some level. A series of such ducts allowed them to bring water pretty high up. The trick was in getting flow started.

  I believe a similar set of conditions is esatblished in this kind of plumbing. Vapor pressure in the main tank is actually a little above atmospheric, facillitating fluid flow. The topper tank is close enuff to the tank such that venturi action does its thing
