To sign "fill", start by forming your non-dominant hand into a loose fist or "C" shape, holding it in front of you as if holding a cup. Form your dominant hand into a flat shape with your fingers together and your palm facing down. Slide your dominant flat hand across the top of your non-dominant hand, moving it toward your body. This motion mimics the contents of a container rising to the very brim.
Sign GLASS, then use the FILL sign. The visual nature of the sign clearly communicates the action of topping off the glass to the brim.
Sign WATER, then sign FILL. You can emphasize the fullness by making the sliding motion slightly more deliberate, showing the water has reached the top.
Sign CAR, then GAS, and finish with the FILL sign. This effectively communicates that the vehicle's gas tank is being filled to its maximum capacity.
