gasses up
Adds fuel before
Gasses up means to fill a vehicle's fuel tank: I need to gas up before the road trip.
By extension, it can mean to energize or hype someone up: The coach gassed up the team before the big game.
In slang, gassing someone up is to flatter them, sometimes excessively: Stop gassing me up—it wasn't that good.
