No, backfire is usually caused by park plug wires that are installed incorrectly or an engine that is out of time. Fuel filter and pump will not cause backfire.
What causes engine after fire?
Timing , pure and simple. If the timing is out then your fuel / mixture will detonate when the piston is in the wrong position in the cylinder. This can lead to a backfire
Why does your Audi TT backfire?

What causes a tractor to backfire?
If you are running at high rpms and turn the key off the unburned fuel will be pumped from the cylinders in the engine into the muffler. The muffler is still hot enough to ignite the unburned fuel.
Why does motorcycle backfire when trying to start it?

What causes an auto diesel engine to backfire and smoke?
Black smoke is caused by too much fuel going into the engine. (often seen when running under load) If the engine smokes with little load and is worse at high RPM, it could be a plugged air filter. I have seen a Cat 3208 cat backfire and smoke as a result of a plugged air filter. The backfire only occured after the engine had reached operating temperature. I believe there was not enough air availiable to burn the fuel. This resulted in a loss of power, which opened the throttle even more. As a result, the unburned fuel was probably igniting prematurely on the next compression stroke causing the engine to run very poorly and backfire. After replacing fuel filters and checking for air leaks in the fuel supply with no success, replacing the air filter solved the problem.

Why is your 92 F150 5.0 backfiring through carburetor?
A backfire is caused by many different things. Using the wrong grade fuel will cause a backfire, as the engine's compression ratio is usually too high and will detonate the Air/Fuel mixture, causing a backfire. It can also be caused by advanced or retarded timing. Advanced timing will cause a backfire through the intake, as the spark occurs too early and ignites the Air/Fuel mixture before the intake valve is closed. Retarded timing causes a backfire through the exhaust as the spark occurs after the exhaust valve has opened. Your problem seems to be advanced timing. A backfire is caused by many different things.

Does a bad alternator make your car backfire?
No! A car backfires because unburned fuel is getting to the muffler. The heat of the exhause system causes the fuel to combust, thus a backfire. A bad alternator will just not charge your car battery.
What causes a diesel tractor to backfire and blow black smoke?
