A pump is used to deliver water from a lake to an elevated storage tank. The pipe network consists of 1,800 ft (Equivalent length) of 8-in. Pipe (Hazen-Williams roughness coefficient = 120). Ignore minor losses. The pump discharge rate is 600 gpm.  Assume K₁ = 1.318, The friction loss (ft) is most nearly:
