How long should it take to fill a SS tank?

from Warren Weckesser (weck@ima.umn.edu)
I recently switched to stainless steel reels and tank for developing film, and I bought a "Tundra" brand tank. It has a plastic top. I am trying to develop two rolls of 120 at the same time. The problem that I have is that it takes 45 seconds or more just to fill the tank! If I try to pour faster, the developer ends up filling up the cap and spilling over the sides. Occasionally, a big bubble forms in the hole, which makes it worse. Any suggestions? How long does it take you to pour 750-800ml into a SS tank? Do different brands have significantly different cap designs?

(One idea is to put the reels into a tank that is already full of developer, but I would like to avoid this.)
