Just tried to fill the gas tank near Almeria in Spain. The tank is about one third full but we could only get 30 cents worth in! Tried everything and much head scratching by me and the garage guy.
Unfortunately, this problem may have arisen before we left the UK. Although the tank was three quarters full I went to fill up completely but could only manage about a seven eighths full tank.
A bit of Googling suggests the float which prevents over-filling may be stuck and a carefully placed tap with a hammer may cure it.
It is also possible the system was trying to stop me killing myself as we realised later the 'fridge was still running on gas. Oops. Does it know you are drawing gas and therefore have a naked flame and it won't let you refill?
Just to recap, it is an Autogas 2000 Caratank built in system with an external filler.
I will ring the company on Monday but any advice before then would be most welcome.
