Made by MTD with a Vanguard Briggs. It should just have a vacuum operated fuel pump. The fuel filter should be between the tank and the fuel pump. There isn't anything to get to inside the fuel tank that I know of.
Correct sir mtd. briggs. When u start the engine the fuel in f. filter is vacuumed to f. pump, but no fuel continue to flow into the fuel filter from the tank?

You are just not seeing fuel inside the filter but the engine is running? If so this is normal. Or doesn't the engine run?

I am not exactly sure what your problem is.
I had a fuel flow problem and I used air to gently pressure my fuel tank by holding a plastic bag around my air gun and blowing air into it. I had the fuel line in a bucket to see that gas was flowing. I forced fuel thru the line and the new filter.
Then I hooked the line backup to the fuel pump and my problem was solved.
