Fuel Station not pumping

My fuel station is not pumping. Camper is new to me and I've never used it before. Tank is full and the motor runs fine. No fuel pumps out, but you can feel some air coming out of the nozzle. Any ideas?
  • I've had several problems with mine in the past also. A couple of things to try. Leave the gas filler cap on, lay the nozzle on the ground, below the gas tank, turn the pump on and hold the lever. This should make the gas start flowing from the tank.
  • Yes, I've read those, but this is a different issue. I'm NOT blowing fuses. Pump runs fine and is even blowing a slight amout of air out of the nozzle. Tank is full, but no fuel is being pumped.
  • I would hope it needs to be primed, it shouldn't though. Have you tried to pull a vacuum on it with a mityvac or something like that. It could be a broken pick up tube too. Maybe a broken drive key on the gears, mine is plastic.
