i always thought so too.
when i did the kids truck i had the same problem your having.
after cleaning the tank removeing the sock filter cleaning the sending unit tube and installed a new pump and lines still couldnt get any fuel too the pump no matter how long i cranked it.

i disconected the in feed at the pump too see what was up and it was dry after all that cranking
i thought perhaps some how its still clogged so i blew air into the dissconected line and guess what happened i got doused with gas

on my truck i did it into the gas tank even before trying too crank it over "just because i didnt need the issue again" just be carefull cause the tank can/will expand if you create a good seal.

i never had too do this on any other vehicles
