abastecimento de combustível além do travamento automático da bomba
topping off significa abastecer o tanque de combustível além do momento em que a bomba de combustível trava automaticamente ("encher até a boca", em linguagem popular):
https://www.automoblog.net/2011/08/15/topping-off-learn-why-...
Topping off doesn't mean filling your tank. It means letting the fuel pump automatically fill your tank until it turns off, and THEN pulling the trigger a few more “bursts” (often to “round off” the price, or just to get a “little more” gas in the tank).
A prática não é recomendada, conforme link acima.
Aliás, no Brasil, é até ilegal em alguns estados:

...frentistas do Rio de Janeiro não podem mais abastecer qualquer veículos além do travamento automático da bomba.

And don't expect to reap the benefits of low rates if you opt to buy your own fuel, then later decide to let the rental agency top off the tank. If you don't prepay, you will not only get hit with higher per-gallon prices, but also a convenience surcharge that can double the per-gallon price.
