the bit on the tank that is flared is known as a cup valve which the germans attach to lpg tanks therefor it does not srew off so needs different adapter

Hi Denton.
There are 3 types of adaptors You have the ACME screwed into your tank, with the UK Bayonet screwed into it. As bigfoot said you need to put the UK Bayonet straight in the tank,that will solve the problem. Looking at you picture it looks like the UK Bayonet does not have a thread inside it, which is fine if you stay in the UK. Check these out: This has the thread in it;
If you have all 3 you cant go wrong looking at the pictures you dont leave any adaptors in your tank so if you just got the euro adaptor thats all you need. Good Luck Bob.

Hi I had the same problem with the same tank fitting as you. I went to a firm call Tinleytec, you need a Universal filler adaptor-22mm-bayonet Male -female this also allows you to fit the french cup adaptor. It costs £18.21

hi,.
round inlet with thread on the outside - ACME is filler for: GERMANY, BELGIUM, S. IRELAND
The filler with two pegs - BAYONET is fill adaptor for: UK, HOLLAND, SPAIN
There is better type of the adaptor and more easy to use called - ACME TO BAYONET
Last adaptor is ACME TO FR/IT and this will do the rest of Europe
