if this is a std walk behind mower , the filter is not much more than a screen that's installed in pick up tube inside gas tank this should be just under the carb (carbs on top of tank) , fuel tank removes with just three screws , have a new gasket ready for reinstall of tank as your most likely not going to be able to reuse old one
When filling your tank, if the fill hose kicks off and/or gas kicks back up the tube it's an indication that the evaporative emissions vent tube is plugged, the cannister vent valve is not working correctly, or that there is a restriction in the fill pipe/hose. Unless the tank or pipe was recently worked on or part of an accident, you can eliminate it. I've found several concerns involing the vent tube and cannister vent valve. Spiders like to make webs inside of these items and the web blocks the air from escaping. When you fill your tank, the air inside needs to go somewhere. If it can't escape, it will cause the gas to back up and shut off the fill handle or kick gas back. There are ways to check this function with a scan tool and pressure machine but you can also do a visual inspection by disconnecting the valve and looking for webs or debris. You can also run water though the open line or blow shop air though to be sure it's clear. The P1450 is an evaporative emission code and is probably related to the filling concern but could also be a seperate issue. If the concern is not obvious, you will need to have an auto tech hook up a scan tool and perform a pressure test while monitoring the fuel tank pressure sensor. Basic diagnosis is 1.0 0 1.5 hours multiplied br the shops hourly rate. Ex: 1.5 hr. X $100.00 = $150.00 diag charge.

There is most likely a crimp or blockage in the filler tube. This is the tube that leads between the fill pipe and the tank. You may need to remove the tube and tank or replace the hose so you don't have slow filling problems.
inside the filler tube that connects fuel tank there is an air vent tube that lets air out as u fill the tank, the tube is made from a very light weight plastic and they can collapse, the result is slow fill or gush back when filling. You will need to replace the vent tube assembly, contact a ford dealer for the right parts, that is the only place other than a salvage yard to get the part.
The tube in the tank is the fuel pickup line and goes directly to the carburetor. You will need to get NEW fuel lines. Fish or shake the old parts out of the fuel tank after draining. Inside the tank will be a small length of smaller diameter fuel line that connects to the small fuel filter and there will be a small nylon line connector that is plugged into the end of the larger diameter fuel line which is the fuel return line from the primer bulb back to the fuel tank. That line ends just inside the fuel tank and is held there by the small nylon line connector. The other line (smaller diameter) needs some length inside the tank so it can flop around as you move the machine enabling it to always pick up fuel. 6" or so is about right from the hole in the bottom (or top) of the tank to the fuel filter. Buy long enough lengths of fuel line that they can be inserted into the tank and pulled thru the fill cap area and then have the parts put back on them and then cut to the correct length from the fuel tank to the carburetor and/or primer bulb. Buy about 1 foot of each size line needed. Small engine repair shops have it and sell it..not expensive.
the fill vent is inside the fill tube . your fill is 2 inch and inside it is a 3/4 inch that your gas goes down it runs from the filler neck to the 3/4 mark inside the tank your vent is the area between the outside if the inside tube and the inside of the outside tube . and vents through the gas pump nozzle ... gm has a problem with there trucks where the inside fill tube gets kinked after a while and kicks off the pump . i have never seen anyone fix this problem and have it work for long . i have a 2003 chevy truck same problem have to fill real slow . pulled tank , checked all lines changed fill neck ( flapper door in fill neck bad ) .... put it back . same problem . good luck . i gave up
Anything is possible, you could look to see if the fuel tank appears newer then the rest of the under body, however a new fuel tank is not such a bad thing, if it were installed properly...
There is a tube that run down into the tank inside the fill pipe, it vents air as the tank is filled, if it is blocked your problem occurs, most likely it is kinked.
