The "overflow" hose really is just there so that you can fill the tank all the 
way to the top. If that hose is blocked, you can still fill the tank 90% of the 
way, and just as fast, but there is no way to fill the top 10% because there's 
no outlet for the air bubble trapped up there. The overflow hose, cures that 
problem.

Actually, I guess you really COULD fill that last 10% without the overflow 
hose, because you still have the little vent lines. But the vent lines are so 
small and long that the last 10% might take you half an hour to do.
