fuel pump priming issue

I have an 82 CJ5 with a 6 banger and mechanical fuel pump. When it sits for a few days the pump won't pick up the fuel so I have to prime it by blowing air into the gas tank. Once primed, the pump works fine. It seems the fuel is running back to the tank, leaving the fuel pump dry. Any ideas what causes this and how to stop it?
