Hello,

I would like to know if the adjective "full" can go together with the preposition "with", for example:

The shelf is full of books - the shelf is full with books.

The shelf is full of dirt - The shelf is full with dirt.


Thank you for your help.

I wouldn't use it.
 
You could say something like "the tank was filled with diesel fuel."
