What your roomate told you was correct. There is a pocket of air that gets trapped inside the hose and if you lay it on the ground for a few seconds it will start right back up.

I don't know what causes pump to run slow in cold weather but one way to speed up the slow up is, stop pumping for 5 seconds then restart pumping. That usually fixes the problem. If there a pump expert out there, please post a real solution to fix this problem.

Or you could just get a car that doesn't need to be filled up every week and doesn't have a 55,000 gallon drum for a tank! hahahah. Sorry, I just wanted to say that for some reason.
