Diesel X5 35d is on a distinguished road
Don't worry about it. Fill the passive tank only. (The one with the filler cap underneath the air intake). This will make the transfer pump run every once in a while and prevent it from seizing up. Wait until a very hot day after a long ride and give it a try, you may be able to open it up in these conditions for the reasons stated above.

Enjoy the fact that you don't drive a VW TDI.

I exchanged my 2003 TDI for the X5 for my wife's concern for safety, but I'll never see 50+ mpg again (56 mpg once).
