Bit of an LPG new guy... are the nozzles different across the pond?

Generally screw on needed, can get a bag of adaptors off eBay at reasonable price. As not all countries in Euroland are the same.

Something I've noticed in Frogland....the pumps are slow to clear (Operator) and pressurise compared to anywhere else. Don't get impatient like I did and walk away, filling up with 95 and moaning at the operator! He just shrugged his shoulders. The next fill up I waited longer and it came eventually!

Watch out for some of the cheaper adapters. Bought a Polish set to use on my camper, but first time I used it, most of the gas escaped as the oversized O-ring was forced away from the threaded section. Bought a replacement over there and it worked perfectly.

Bad vs. good. Also note the much smaller bore on the left which would reduce the flow:
