At 3'oclock on the tank hole there is a little button kind of thing, just keep this pressed in when filling but watch out for fuel then coming out of the neck!

keep it pressed all the time or just when u get near the top?

 

[spyke85]

Keep it pressed when it clicks off for the first time

fill till it clicks then pull pump out of tank and press pump nozzle on button as ,mentioned at 3'oclock and you should hear air venting out then when air stops fill up till it clicks and you may need to do this 2-3 times to get it completly vented! advise tho dont vent to top and leave full for long periods of time as fuel exspands ect in hot weather thats what this vented air is there for to compensate for this so only use this meathod if your going on a long trip ect soon so dont fill and leave

Ive come to the conclusion that doing this is unnecessary unless you are driving 500+miles with no garages nearby. why squeeze more fuel in when half a tank usually does long enough? Less weight and less consumption too.
