On the question of why Newell designed the tanks the way they did we'd have to ask them, but I suspect the reason is to ensure adequate expansion space for fuel as it warms up coming out the underground tanks. A coach next to me came back from refueling (his fill is at an angle which allows filling to near the top) and 15 minutes later started spewing fuel on the ground from the vent pipe and did so for about 45 minutes. I was surprised at the amount.
