The anti-syphon flap has broken off in the filler neck and is stuck in the closed position, the reason it took 20 mins to get a small amount of fuel in it is the its only trickling past. the flap being stuck is not being allowed to drop and let the flow in. I had the exact issue when someone tried to empty my tank.
Solution?
there are 2 things you can do. First one is get a digital scope with a magnet attachment and see if its even in a position that it can recovered or removed. Removing it will not harm anything, and you will be able to cut your grass in future as well.
Secondly, if you do not have access to a scope of any kind, tank and filler neck replacement are in your stars.
I had huge success with the removal of the flap in mine and have not had an issue since.
Tank replacement is your last resort. Trust me.
Unless you wanted to go for a fuel cell..
