2755 fuel leakage from fuel cap mystery

My 2755 always has fuel leakage around the neck under the fuel cap. I replaced the fuel cap, but it did not help. The top of the fuel neck is clean and straight. One day I left the tractor running and took the fuel cap off. The fuel return line comes up to a small steel tube that discharges about 1 1/2 inch under the cap. It seemed to me like the fuel was spraying pretty hard across the fuel neck and was splashing everywhere. When I inspected the tube opening it appeared that over the years that the little tube got banged sort of flat and restricted the flow like when you pinch the end of a water hose to make it spray. Questions: Has anybody else had this problem? How do I re-open that little tube to reduce the spray?
 
Yes I have had that same thing happen to mine from putting the fuel nozzle in it gets banged up. I was able to massage the pipe back open with a pair of small 90 degree needle nose pliers.
