Correct, if the Cardinal came with a 12 gallon water heater, that gallonage is included in the total so now you are at 52 gallons.
I would fill SLOWLY and see if you possibly pushed some water in the overflow by filling too quickly. You often can fill MUCH quicker (with pressure) than the overflow can vent. I've seen a couple bulged floors and bent braces from ballooning the tank!
Also the sensors are less than accurate.
When I fill my R/V and use out of the fresh tank, it will continue to read full until I've used about 10 gallons just because of the position of the sensors on the tank.
