I would say: "Llene con gasolina, por favor." = "Fill (my tank/it) with gasoline, please."
"llene" = formal command/imperative for the verb "llenar" = to fill
You could also say: "¿Podría llenar mi tanque con gasolina?" = "Could you fill my tank with gasoline?"

In Mexico, I've also heard "Lleno con . . . " (with the type of gas you want). But, I don't understand how this can be correct. That is, how can it be correct to use the word "lleno" as a command form of the verb "llenar"? - Pajaro44, Jun 17, 2010
lleno is full, so it's like saying you would like to have a full tank - Deanski, Jun 17, 2010
Gracias, Deanski! - Pajaro44, Jun 17, 2010
Exactly, in this context, lleno discribes that you want a full tank, not that you want the tank filled. - Anthony - darkwise, Jun 17, 2010

If you are in Sonora, you either say:
Lleno de verde, por favor.
or...
Lleno de rojo, por favor.
Just depends whether you want the green quality of gas, or the red.

Llenar el tanque. To fill completely. / Echar(le) gas. To fill (it) partially.
