I still cant figure why the obsession with accurate FE, approximate FE is fine if you ask me. Apart from the above post, I for one believe that filling to the brim is a bad idea, since it confuses the safety system in your car, am talking about the spill valve and over flow can which also gets filled.

The better way to get minimal air lock is to have the tank filled slowly, than at full flow. Try this and see you will get consistent FE readings. Alternate option is to use the bottle technique where fuel is fed from a separate can, this is tedious since it involved disconnecting fuel lines and all.

Full tank is 38 litres if i remember correct.
