It's not a loophole. If you took two cars from any manufacturer in the field they'd all refill at a slightly different rate from each other. Even in true spec series where everyone has to use the same fuel cell there's significant variance in the actual capacity of each and thus different amounts of packing material required to meet the regulated amount.

Not really though.

Pit times were still used in 2017, so evidently they didn't find an affordable way.

Pretty much the way you have to do it is chuck the refueling restrictor for real time electronic flow regulation, but that's adding a pretty disproportionate amount of cost to the fuel rig.
