Ludo; not all airports have fuel facilities. They may also have the wrong fuel for your needs.
IOW; if an airport only has jet fuel and you're flying a DC3; you're out of luck - you'll have to refuel by hand (i.e. the aircraft fuel and payload page.)
There are one or two that should have both fuel types; but don't - I was surprised to learn KJFK only has jet fuel; though it listed both in the GPS.

If the airport has a pump amd won't fill You up
then check it with AFCAD.
Open the airport and double click anywere outside the airfiled
to open airport properties and to the right there should be a box that says airport serivices. make sure that avgas or jet fuel is not unchecked .
There are a few that I have found there were. :P
