why not recommend it? what do you think would happen?

well, of course, the fSM recommends a max amount, can't be left open on the max side or people would try to put in 10 gals but that does not mean it would damage anything automatically, right? Anything mechanical worse than spilling everywhere?

Not that I plan to do this, just curious...
