Problem filling Vector mega pump

[gtphale]

Hey all I bought the Vector Mega Pump a while back, and ran it out of fluid the other night. Is there a trick to filling this thing? I turned the fuel adjustment most of the way down to low. Held it upside down and pressed my triple refined fuel into the nozzle at 4 and 5 second burst. I let it sit for about 5 minutes and nothing. Tried again and let it sit 10 minutes nothing. Turned the flame adjustment all the way up and tried again. Nothing, I'm sure I'm missing something. Is there something I have to do to that plastic ring around the nozzle?

Thanks Steve

Prudence calls to make sure there is no flame prior to bringing close to your ear, but have you noted any gas escaping while you hold the button down?

Nope no gas escaping, so its like gas isn't making it into the pump. And my can is full. :sign:

You're plugged with something. You need a ram wire, something like the bristle of a wire brush. Trigger the lighter (unlit, hopefully) and see if you can work the wire in the aptiture.
