Long range tank - breather line versus fill line

[dom14]

Hey Guys,

I'm just wondering about the reason that in my long range tank(LRA automotive tank), the breather line & fill line
is at the same level.
This means, if I fill the tank to slightly above the fill line, the breather line will also get filled with petrol!
How does that help as a "breather line"?!!!
Shouldn't the breather line come out from the highest point of the tank(like the charcoal canister line level in the picture below)??!!

Thanx

P.S. I think it's also pretty bad design to put the breather line right next to fill line that close. It creates a fitting nightmare when it comes to access the hoses and hose clamps to them.
