Tank filling issue

Hi All, We are new here.
We are having a few little issues with our 2002 R53, our main ones are the fuel gauge does not work, I have purchased a replacement fuel pump and sender unit and will be fitting this over the weekend, hopefully this sorts it, and the real painful problem is the fuel tank will not accept fuel, unless I dribble it in. I get the strangest looks from people as I often stand at the fuel station for 10 minuets drip feeding the filler neck.
Can anyone help with this.

Cheers Pat and Sarah
