A couple of things:
1) It seems there is more variability in the amount of fuel allowed in than exactly or close to exactly 10 gallons. That opens up possibilities. I'll need to re-read and re-think.
2) I think you touched on it, but the convoluted, long, and narrow fuel tube path combined with potentially poor venting could certainly be causing premature shut-off. Maybe it doesn't burp fuel vapors well enough. The schematic is far from a detailed drawing, so hard to tell.
3) The loose tube is all sorts of F'd up, but unsure that it could be a contributing factor.
4) Don't dismiss the very real possibility of a wrong fuel tank volume compared to the published value.
