the thing that always got me about this picce of stupdity they designed as a filler was simply "WHY". the tank runs down the right side of the vehicle . all that was required was to put a hole in the side panel on the passenger side, and drop a 50mm hose straight down in to the top of the tank. problem disappears, and it could have been filled with a bloody firehose if necessary.. i looked at doing this myself ages ago, but the cost of removing the tank, having it cleaned, a new nozzle welded on and the old one blanked off was a bit of cost (plastic welding) and cutting hole in rear panel and getting surround and stuff. was very involved in the end the long range tank didn't cost a lot more.
