Just my background first. I am a fuel delivery driver with 17 and a half years experience. I have delivered millions of gallons in those years. Those gauges are are helpful to know when itsnear full, half tank, and empty. Sometimes there are bushings screwed into the tank then the gauge screwed in and sometimes the gauge directly into the tank. I have filled tanks before and the gauge is reading 3/4 and some gauges the indicator is touching the top of the sight glass. If the tank has a whistle most drivers stop pumping when it stops whistling which would leave 5 or 6 inches from the top. Yes I have seen many tanks filled too close to the top and the heat causes expansion and it runs over later out the fill or vent or both. The most I ever put into a 275 tank was 264 gallons and it was brand new,empty , and very cold out. It was less that one inch from running over. Tried and true method is sticking the tank with a measuring stick. Our automatic delivery computer system never ever shows a 275 with having 275 useable gallons always lower depends on how high up the draw tube is. Hope this helps.
