Parked on a hill?

nope flat road

my only idea is that because I removed the charcoal canister and just blanked off the pipes but didn't remove them fully and maybe fuel has got stuck in there or something

When you last checked were you driving the car? Sometimes whilst driving it reads higher/lower then it is after being stopped a while.

well when I was changing the airbox and stuff i had the ignition on and had a glance and it was still up at 1/4

Thats why i follow the mileage per tank full

I could go out and check that in a min reset the odometer when i filled up

That doesn't seem alot? Can you remove charcoal canister? Surely its there for.a reason? You just need to move it to fit the bigger airbox, like rotate 90degrees on one of its bolts...

Yep, or push it down enough

I was thinking about moving it tbh like rotating it and see if that solves the issue and yeah you can remove it. i think it would have been better if i had done it fully rather than half heartedly
