I just put the nozzle of a garden hose into the inlet opening and turn the
water on to a relatively slow stream so it won't back up and overflow.  The
hose stays there just fine, it doesn't fall out.

Perhaps I should mention that I have the later style tank water filler -

http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=255070810W ) .  If you have the
older style inlet with the key inside the lid, you can replace it with this
one.
