On Civics there is a lower limit where the fuel gauge is known not to move after a small amount has been put in. But, I would have thought £15, 10 litres, would be over that limit.
Our fuel tanks, due to the magic seats, aren't box shaped but are quite flat, cover a larger area under the front seats so small amounts are often not recognised.
For me, my first ploy would be to put more in.
