Same thing happend to me yesterday. Had 8L left in the tank and was able to fill exactly 42.1 L. Torque showed 47.5 L fuel level.
I suspect our tank has a sender that is operated with a float like most cars.
When the float reaches the top of the tank, the float stops but you will be able to fill more. All my previous cars ( analogue fuel gauge) acted like that.
I had to drive about 50 km to see the needle droping.
I will check in the next days after how many k's torque will show a drop in fuel level.
