Use 2 holes, you need the top of the fuel filler tube as a "plenum". The
fuel vent from the tank not only releases air during filling, but also a
good deal of fuel. You will want the fuel to return to the tank, and the
air to escape.
Also, my mistake was to project the opening of the tube somewhat in the
direction of the fuel cap. So during filling when the tank is almost
full, the tube starts spitting out splashes of fuel which is quite a
nuisance.
For securing the metal tubes I used some Araldite. It is fuel resistant
and appears to hold very well on the fuel filler neck.
