I have found this too I cured it by lowering the pumps so there at the bottom of the tank

i found that with the shurflo pumps they dont really suck that well, they need a flow to them

remember water will always find its level.

lower your pumps mate

you can easly fix this problem by putting a 1 way valve before the pump

Pump should always be at the lowest point, in any system. Preferably near the tank elbow.
