Does fill mean full?

If I fill something does that mean simply getting some substance and putting it into a container i.e a cup of water into an empty sink or does it usually mean filling such sink to the top?

In other words however many (or few) cupsfull are poured in it is filling or is it only a filling action if totally filled at the end of the procedure?
