The next day, I drove the short distance to the petrol station (cold engine) and the button worked fine, straight up to 100%, with less fuel than it had the previous day. Managed to refuel so who knows?
Anyway, I got my car back today, I mentioned the many US comments on this forum where an additional warranty period was added to the pressure sensor and was told that “we don’t do that sort of thing in the UK sir”!
But what they did do for me was to brim the tank so I am going to have to wait a week before seeing if the fix worked. Nice of them to give me free petrol though!

Perhaps the short drive you took just didn't have the necessary time to fully pull down the vacuum in the fuel tank.
