Do you know what is the capacity of your car's fuel tank? If its over this capacity, then maybe there's a leak somewhere....

 

Cos if you count by litres of petrol pumped in, then the price of petrol increase/decrease does not matter.

my car fuel tank capacity is 45l.

 

Then how can you pump up to 50 litres ?? Unless you can prove that the pump indicator at the petrol station is faulty....

Probably the capacity specified doesn't include the buffer. Was 8 litres in my previous Hyundai Matrix.

Did you notice a petrol smell when you stand around the rear of your car? My friend's avante got a leaked fuel tank, at that time, he noticed his FC dropped from 500+km to only 300+km, sent to the workshop and mechanic spotted a small crack at the fuel tank.

If ur tank capacity is 45L, then max is 45L. But not possible to pump 45L cos ur fuel empty light will on when d tank left about 10-15% fuel.

You can pump 5L over the max capacity?? You should be seeing a huge river of petrol flowing out from under your car..... unlikely to be undetectable...
