What's a "tank tap" or "fitler"?

The fitting that attaches the fuel line to the fuel tank.
They often have a screen filter of their own inside the tank.

After fussing with it for months I finally had a qualified mechanic look at it. He did everything I did (bleeding changing filters, etc.) turns out the seat safety switch was faulty!
To make matters worse, my son reminded me that the same thing happened to our lawn mower; only then I was smart enough to figure it out.
