JIM - The reason for the new triple baffle caps with the quarter-turn safety pressure release isn't because the old caps leaked, because that's more of a problem caused by the tank. The old low profile cap was basically the same as Every other ag. equip. company used. IH started using the triple baffle cap sometime in the late 50's, which was better than the caps the other companies used...and the new "Safety Cap" is identicle except for the two catches where You have to turn the cap a quarter turn, lift then turn again to remove. Similar to a radiator cap.
The whole gas cap program was to prevent rapid release of gasoline vapor pressure in the tanks which could draw raw gasoline out as well, but THAT was the hazard... That and smoking while fueling a gasoline tractor....
