fill-up

Gas station purchase

A fill-up is the act of filling something completely, especially a vehicle's fuel tank: I stopped for a fill-up on the way home.

At a gas station, asking for a fill-up means topping off the tank rather than buying a specific amount.

The term extends to any complete refilling: The waiter offered a fill-up on coffee.
