How many clicks of the pump did you take to achieve that?
User manual recommends not to put in any more after the second click, elsewhere I've read you should stop at the first click.

Manual mentions expansion space in the tank and there is also the volume going up the fuel filler neck. Is it possible overfilling into those spaces could add up to the extra?

Either way something seems screwy. If your gauge was at exactly 1/8 you should still have had 8-9L onboard... It would seem either your gauge is out (you were running on fumes), or their pump is very wrong...
