My old one was finicky.  It helps when they are completely empty to get them
started filling.  The valve is designed with to airlock or something.  So
what worked good for me was to open the bleeder valve all the way before
they touch the van.  That way, you know it is open enough to elmininate the
pressure valve from locking it from filling.  Many times, they open that
bleeder a little but not enough.  Then once it is filling, they can close
down the bleeder some.
