You might find the crossover tube has twisted and creased therefore not allowing fuel to get to the right tank. There is another possibility too where back pressure on the nozzle stops the fuel going in. In my case, try turning the fuel nozzle counter-clockwise 90 degrees, so the handle is facing to the rear.
