Was the tank totally empty before you filled it?
On a lot of tanks there is a varying amount of water retained in the tank even after it's emptied through the drain valve. This is due to any sagging of the tank bottom between brackets.
This will of course vary from tank to tank but it's just the nature of the beast.
