Presumably it would usually start in that position, so I'd have expected two gallons to resolve a possible pick-up issue. Still, who knows.
With the pump verified running and sufficient fuel in the RHS there should be fuel at the Schrader valve. No fuel at the Schrader also suggests a blocked line, a blocked filter or the pump ain't pumping. None of these is likely. Leakage of the seal, however, is. But to have no fuel at all at the Schrader is unusual.
