    Not real sure how you can have good pressure at the pump and no pressure in the tank. What makes you think you have good pressure at the pump?

    The pressure tank is not your problem, though SB is correct is telling you how to set tank pressure correctly. The only source of pressure you have is your pump. Tanks simply store water under pressure.
