How are you trying to fill it? If it's too slow the valve may not close. Also, how did you empty it?

Try cocking it? Mine didn't want to pump new. So I tried guppy and cocked and it took air.

That's a good point. With the hammer against the valve it may be holding it open. Cock it and try filling it with a tank of available.

Sometimes,filling tanks from zero with my hill pump,i need to point the fill nipple downwards to help the check valve to set with gravity until there is enough pressure in the tank to move it.

I would remove the fill nipple to take a look inside it.It seems stucked close.
There is any air escaping somewere when you try to fill?
