F cannot fill up because D must completely fill up first. J cannot get a drop of water until D can bear no more, and C is allowed to fill up to J.
F cannot get any water until J is filled, so F can't fill first.
A drips to B, drips to C, drops to D, drips to G.
G fills up, then D fills up, then C can finally start filling.
Only if the system is pressurized, or the mass of the water is sufficient, will F, H, E, or C ever be filled, simply because they don't have a pipe which enters their volume at the top.
Edit: Hot damn, there are blockages. I thought those were just graphical, not part of the puzzle. Silly me...
Good points. I think L will fill up first.because it has a pipe that enters from the top followed by F. K can't be filled because J feeds into into it through I. Plus the exit from J is at the bottom and the water must rise up to enter I before It can enter K.

L will fill first, then.

Depending on the weight, L could fill up almost exactly at the same time as F.
L gets a drop, and then the weight of the water pushes the water through the tubes into F.
F can never be more full than L.
L, therefore, will fill up first, and then equalize with F, and then fill up again.
