You need an adaptor.. it's a threaded fitting. None of mine would work.

Also... LPG was only a few cents cheaper than petrol.. Petrol works out at about 70p.

Found on WWW...

The standard filling connection in the Republic of Ireland is the Acme connector: the outside diameter of the one used is 1.75" (45mm). You may need an adapter if this is not the norm in your country. Some Irish outlets have adapters, particularly those near the ferry terminals, but it would be better if you obtained one in advance of travelling to Ireland. Over the next few years, this is expected to be resolved with the adoption of a standard European connector system.
