Default Fuel filler neck

On the fuel filler neck there is a small hole which allows air to escape from the tank when filling. Can that hole be enlarged for air to exit the tank when filling?

i'm guessing it can be enlarged, but don't think it will make any difference. personally, I wouldn't modify anything associated with the gas tank.

Sure but why? Do you have a pit crew and a need for a fast fill?
