The reason a car can accept 63 L despite a 58 L rated capacity is primarily due to the filler neck the pipe leading from the fuel cap to the tank which isn't usually included in the manufacturer's official volume.
Additionally, manufacturers leave an expansion gap (vapor space) at the top of the tank. This space is intentionally left empty to allow fuel to expand as it warms up without triggering the evaporative emissions system. While fuel is denser when cold, the manufacturer’s recommended capacity is a safety margin designed to prevent pressure buildup and potential damage to the car's charcoal canister

if fuel price go up, your capacity liter doesn't remain 56 liter, it must go up understand that first

DELMAH🐲🐙 :
i work at shell i can explain it....the 56 litres that you are talking about it's when the pump nozzle automatically stops..so it means that, up to that point your car has already met the 56 litres..however it can accomodate more because of the brether issues

Vic Preston Jr. :
You simply overfilled the tank to the brim, way past the recommended full tank capacity marked or calibrated inside the tank.
That's why you always hear the pump sensing it and stops filling. But in your case you told the attendant "jaza kabisa" yet it had already reached the capacity recommended.

The Mazda CX-5 typically has a fuel reserve capacity of approximately 2 to 3 gallons (about 7.5 to 11 liters). When the low fuel light activates and the distance-to-empty display reads zero, this reserve generally provides a buffer allowing for roughly 30–60 miles of additional driving

𝑩𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝑲𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒊 🇰🇪 :
Avoid filling up to the brim.
CX5 tank capacity is 58 litres.
Assuming you had approx 5L remaining in your tank, you were supposed to fill approx 53L.
Make it a habit to fuel early morning or at night, but shouldn't bring up that much difference.
There's a problem with their pumps.
The manager should explain.

Yes, you should be worried. Be worried of your car knowledge. Do something about it.

😁 Google gives exact litres of tank but the tank has space for overflow,like the space left in a bottle of soda for air or pressure in case of petrol
