hi just been going over Expanda for trip next week and found that the hand pump tap on the sink is not drawing water up, any quick fix ideas . Can still use electric/12volt pump tap but it is annoying.

Check hose clamps then take the top off and smear a small amount of vaseline, olive oil around the seal on the shaft, put it back together again and bingo it should prime.............just like an old style handraulic bike pump, use long slow strokes don't pump it like a demon, it's all in the timing...............................................................now that is difficult to type out.
