the breather hose is already 12mm, the connection points limit the
effect of going larger. the only way it could possibly fill better is to
move the filler neck point to the top of the tank instead of the side
where it currently is. not worth that much hassle, imo. next best is
always filling with the right rear higher. bring a ramp/leveling block
to drive that tire up on, nobody will look at you strangely, right?
