Hi all
this is just a simple question: is there a way to add fuel to a space station like ISS, which doesn't provide re-fuel service by default? I need to edit the config file or it's a different (and more difficult) thing?
Thanks

You can:
-dock a fuel tank to the ISS using an AddOn;
-use the "scenario editor" and cheat;
-create your own space station and place some fuel tanks;

When you are docked to the tank, use DGIV fuel transfering function or the "Fuel MFD" if you are using another vessel.

Actualy, AFAIK, the DGIV, XR1, 2, 5 and all that don't actualy take fuel from the vessel they are docked to, so the ISS and so on actualy don't need any fuel in them. However, this is not true if you are using Fuel MFD.

My Version of the ISS adds a fuel tank to the station. The process to refuel is a bit long-winded as it involves providing fuel to the craft from the ISS and then the ISS pulls that fuel from the external tank.

The tank itself is replaced every year or so via a shuttle mission.

This is just a proof of concept as the next stage is to move the orbital fuel fort I've got in Earth orbit out to lunar orbit and use that as a fuelling station.
