When manufacturers state a fuel tank’s capacity, is it up-to the auto cut-off valve or right to the brim?

@Hyaenidae makes sense. Some day in a non kaputa lanka, gonna check that after a drain.

(Sorry I just saw this) Yes...it is up to the auto cut off point AND at a tempreture between 25-30 degrees celsius (at least in Japan). Now there will be a variation of a litre or so because of fuel density changes with tempreture and pressure differences.
So if you account for filling up right to the top of the neck then you are looking at quite a few litres (depending on the car of course).
DO NOT ! DO NOT ! Fill beyond the auto cut-off point. If you fill it beyond the cut-off point then your fuel may seap in to the EVAC system lines. Over time the fuel moisture within the EVAC lines can cause the charcoal canister (especially if your car model has the canister closer to the tank) and some other components get spoilt.
