You don't have a good suction, there is a leak somewhere. Try some GOOP on the connection between the intake and the tank. Also, you do know these pumps are rated for 12V, so you can always try that. Or get a new pump, they're cheap. Or return the tank for another one.

Faulty suction could explain a bit. If there is air in the pump it will be noisy and pump very slowly like you have pictured.


Make sure the pump is put back together correctly and you pedal faster a little longer. It will completely fill the pump. Make sure your battery is fully charged.
