tops off

Caps a container

Tops off means to finish or complete something, often by adding a final element: She topped off the sundae with whipped cream, Let's top off the evening with a nightcap.

It also means to fill something to capacity, especially a fuel tank that's already partially full: I stopped to top off the gas tank before the long drive.
