M1100 EVO - 13.5 Litres? Indeed?! or do I miss something?

Hi

Today I managed to fill in 14 litres of gasoline into a 13.5 fuel tank capacity (according to the bike spec.)
How could it be?!
see the attached pic..

You bought a pre ABS 1100, but paid for an EVO 

You paid for more gas than you got 

You overfilled the tank

13.5 capacity doenst even include the fuel pump so shouldnt it be more like 12 liters?

Overfilled? what do you mean by that?

[stopintime]

Ducati tells you to fill up to the start of the tube that leads up to the gas cap.

From there to the very top, it's almost a full liter.

The previous generation Monster plastic tanks are smaller than advertised. Maybe the new tanks are actually larger?

[He Man]

there should be a little hole there to prevent overfilling. if you do it just drains and drips to the floor.

Yes, but not until there's gas well above the neck tube - almost a liter.

^^ This.

Either that... or in Israel they're selling US liters .

We don't have liters dammit. 

I think it's the European to Hebrew liter conversion.

how many pepsi bottles is that?

[ungeheuer]

We don't have liters dammit. 

I know.  But if you did.... they'd be smaller than everybody elses  .

So.... I bet you could fit more gallons in the OP's tank than I (or any other former imperialist) could  .

I am going to go with gas station scam.....I bet those meters are tampered.

I can tell for sure that no fuel was entering that hole. I always watch it.
So basically so far I couldn't find any reasonable explanation in any of your comments

..then you didnt read this...

The answer is that Ducati rates the volume of the tank alone - and as stopintime has been explaining to you - in addition to the volume of the tank.... its possible to fit almost another litre within the filler neck before it begins to hit the overflow.
