Slow Filling Up

I had the similar welded steel pipe with a 90 degree bend. Couldn't get the nozzle around the corner easily so had to fill slowly. In the end i cut out the inner side of the bend and welded a gusset across so there is a bigger area to get the nozzle around. Can now fill a lot faster.

 

I don't actually have a breather on my tank but it doesn't seem to cause me any problems. I did drill some holes in the pipe just below the tank top so any air at the top of the tank can escape or i would have lost an inch or 2 of tank space as it would have air locked.

Must admit one thing my 3 doesn't suffer from. Can fill it with about 30 quid and it fills super quick, got to be careful you don't spill it all over the back of the car.
