Default no water pressure. pressure won't hod.

i have a 90 ft well with a submersible pump in a gun club that is not
occupied very often. when we turn on the pump the pressure gage
immediatly goe to about 30lbs while the pump runs continuously. you
can then use the sink while only losing a few lbs. of pressure but it
will continue to operate. if you turn off the faucet and then turn off
the pum the gage will hold that 30 lbs. for days. if however you turn
on the water when the pump is off the pressur drops to zero within 2
seconds and you then have no water. we have approx a 20 gallon tank
but it does not appear to have any water in it. the bladder appears to
be holding 25-30 lbs of presuure as well. does this sound like a pump
issue or is my tank possibly water logged? we have many chiefs in this
gun club who all have an opinion bgut the bottom line is, the pump runs
continuously. any thoughts?

thanks, mike
