Default what controls when the fuel pump primes?

my fuel pump does not prime every time my ignition is turned over. if i turn the car off at the gas station, when i go to start it after fueling, sometimes the pump doesn't prime, and the car won't start. if the pump doesn't prime, the car will not start, period. it's totally random, too...... some times it primes, some it doesn't
