How accurate does my form 1 can length need to be? I have a 7.6" tube with end caps that add .25" each so 8.1' overall. Am I safe just putting 8" or do I need to be more exact?

There probably isn't an official answer to this.

What would *I* do? If I already had the parts in hand and knew it was 8.1, I'd use that. If I didn't have the parts and I just knew it was going to be roughly 8 inches, I'd put 8 and not worry if it came up a quarter inch longer or shorter.

I was told they don't mind one a little shorter than you list, but consider it a foul if it's longer than you list.

I agree with MadPick, though, be as close as you can. In your case, I might say it's ~8-1/4".
