If you can get the line off the " in " side of the fuel filter, blow some low psi compressed air back towards the fuel tank. If that temporary fix helps with your problem, it might be a good indicator that there is algae buildup on the tank filter. At least it will buy you some time to get another filter, and get it changed out.

Sure sounds like some crud blocking the in tank filter screen.
While algae is one possibility it might just be accumulated dirt from dirty fills over time.
I for one always use a fine mesh funnel when filling just to avoid such problems.

I had a wasp in a tank once. It would only happen at certain level and it would come and go. It was floating over the outlet line and took flashlight to see it. Was fortunate as it was simple fuel tank you could see into not an offset fill as many are. So trash can be in there you don't expect.
