I installed the new seal and tried again. With full tank, a hard brake would still let some gas out, but not as badly as before. So now I don't top the tank off. Or if I do, I don't brake hard until it came a bit down.

Yeah, those dummy holes are bummers. I wonder why they did it that way. I took a bit to figure it out, but not a big deal.
Good explanation: it's crystal clear.
Thanks!
