Does fill mean full?

ebee
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?

    broadgage:

    And yes, in practice an instruction along the lines of "do not fill with ABC" Should in general be taken as including "do not partially fill with ABC either" As an example I have an oil lamp that is marked "do not fill with petrol" I suspect that partially filing an oil lamp with petrol is as dangerous as completely filling to the top.




     

    More so.


    What have you been filling Ebee, a towel rail with an electric heater in it?
