You may especially want to check the siphon tube inside the tank that is responsible for the uptake of liquid inside the sprayer. You should also check the hose connection, and be sure the nozzle is not screwed in too tightly. When having a sprayer for a long time, you may also see the lining of the cylinder not lubricated enough, so you may want to apply a coat of Vaseline on the inside of the cylinder inside the tank to continue to hold the pressure inside.

According to the manufacturer, you should not spray diesel in the Chapin Premier 2 Gallon Sprayer (#21220XP). We do not recommend that you use gasoline or ethanol in any sprayer because of their flash points. We did speak to the manufacturers of the two lines of sprayers we carry and both said that while they cannot truly recommend a sprayer for your needs because of liability issues, some professionals do use the Chapin 3.5 Gallon Concrete Sprayer 1949 to spray diesel fuel.
The manufacturer does not recommend using bleach in the Chapin Premier 2 Gallon Sprayer (#21220XP). Bleach products can be applied with the Chapin Industrial Poly Bleach Sprayer (20075).
