Question concerning fuel on operations

Does anyone know wether the planes were always filled up completely with fuel?

Certainly there was a difference between fighters and bombers, so any known detail on this topic is of interest. I would also like to learn about this for allied planes, i.e. a P-51D on a "short" flight maybe only took off with 50% fuel...

Thanks,

yogy
