One of the first mods I plan to do is remove the stupid restricted fuel filler and replace with a high flow filler. I work remote, and have access to high flow nozzles only. Had a look at the dealers, and could not see how to remove the plastic panel surrounding the fuel filler.There appear to be 4 x indents on the panel..Could be for a screw driver to press? Fill pipes are available on line for around $100 AU.
Well worth it in my opinion.

Poke around - someone designed an adapter and someone else suggested a different car manufacturers adapter (I don't recall which though).

I think you want to replace the filler neck and cap, not just use an adapter/funnel? Talk to @Caveman a.k.a. GrenX.
He posted about converting to a hi-flow filler here and mentions a hi-flow filler option as part of the Brown Davis auxiliary tank upgrade on his website here. Scroll down that page to the Fuel Tank section.

Yes thanks Clark, Yes we are in testing for the replacement hi-flow filler in my vehicle. It will be sold in the kit with the aux fuel tank with estimated stock availability in June. I have seen some plastic adapters online but not sure how good they work.
