When we got my wife's Tourer, the splashback was appalling & obviously had been for some time 'cos that side plastic lights cover was in a terrible state , frosted with petrol damage.

I decided to replace the very perished rubber pipe connecting filler to tank. In the old pipe, at the tank end, was a coarse mesh filter, just like a tea strainer.
I can only assume that it was to prevent siphoning off petrol.

Anyway I removed the tea strainer & it fills a lot better, but carefully.

Don't suppose that helps at all, but I wanted to share the story
