20 minutes is way too long if the water pressure from your hose is good / standard. You can tell if the tank is filling by looking at it while it's filling. You should also be able to hear the air in the tank being displaced as the tank fills. Once it is full water will come out of the overflow valve near the cooling water ports on the starboard side. I think you may have a valve on the hose closed or there is a leak in your system.

Hmmm.....righty tighty, lefty loosey.....did you remember to turn the water all the way on?
Maybe an issue with the quick connects?
Hope you don't have a 24' tank!

Yea maybe a few minutes. It will shoot out the side port when filled. I flush mine even if it is full to get it fresh.

@webbug - I had same problem the first time I filled it up. First, screw your hose DIRECTLY to the refill cap. If you're still having problems, take out the speaker back there and look for a crimped hose. I had a line squeezed too tight during install. I had the dealer fix it....quick easy fill up now.
