I am sure they can come up with and deploy safety measures if refuelling returns.
If they go back to refueling, get rid of the built in fuel tank completely, and move to pressurized fuel pods... when the driver hits the pit box, he can press a button to release the canisters (pop up) then the fuel man pulls it out, and plugs another one in.
If they have one on each side, matching the V angle of the block, each pod can be limited to 15 litres, so 30l per fill, max. Guarantees 2 stop, and would maybe only add 1s to the overall stop, and no more liquid transfer (historically, the unsafe part). Would also open the door for a move to CNG over petrol...
