    Default 2013 Skyactiv Hatchback Gas tank capacity?

    Before I get jumped on here about all the other "gas mileage" threads, this is not about mileage but capacity. I have a 2013 Mazda 3 Skyactiv Hatchback, and have noticed a few time that when I fill it up with gas that I am getting around 60 liters of gas in. I thought our tank was 55L?
    I have been driving for a few Km after the last bar disappears from the gauge, and filling up until the neck is full. I don't see how the neck could hold 5+ liters (Last fill up was 63.739L) and I'm not running the car dry.

    You sure you have the sky ?
    2013 GX & Sky tank is 55L
    GT is 60L
    As per auto.com

    You should not be overfilling it ...it messes with evap system
    Try filling it a different gas station

    It's a 2013 3i GT Sky
    As you know, they are tough to fill. The pump will kick off way before it is filled numerous times. I know it isn't near full, so I usually fill till it kicks off, and then slowly fill till it is actually full.

    Noted. Thanks. Just read about overfilling and the canister getting saturated.

    Yes, I do sometimes question the accuracy of the gas pump calibration...
