Well, ususally i swipe in my ATM at the gas station and let the gas pump till it till the gas-pump automatically stops at the maximum possible level. I've seen it go over the F line.

When I completely fill the tank until it can take no more, it goes a tad over the F (maybe 3-4 millimeters)

Mine used to go above the F, but after the needle kit it goes to the F. Oh well. It's worth the look at night.
