When mine stopped working, it was because the tank had gone completely
empty, and after refilling it, I still had no fluid squirting out of the
nozzles.

I then filled from the tube end (easier said than done) which primed the
system I guess, and it started working again.  Strange but true.  I won't
let it go completely dry again!
