Problem with grease gun

[bm]

After filling my grease gen with grease I find that no grease comes out of the gun although I have pumped for some time What am I doing wrong? Blair

The grease guns I have used have to be bled to remove air before use and after refilling with grease. Mine has two knurled screws at the top that vent the air and no amount of pumping will force grease through the gun without getting the air out.

What Gio said. Plus, I always fill the gun, then bash the bottom of it on the deck to ram the grease down to the bottom,then you can get a bit more grease in, which means less air is in there.
