In case it's true that the universe is expading, what's the fuel for this expasion? I do not admit the idea that it's a case of spontaneous generation of space... so there must be a limit for this expasion. What's the limit for the expansion of the universe?

The expansion is just leftover motion from the original universe I think you are talking about the ACCELERATION of the expansion. The source for that is what we call "dark energy" and if you figure out what that is, I guarantee you a Nobel prize. There is no limit.

I think that energy would be demanded to make the universe expand even in constant motion, since I imagine space as something attached as glue to the other parts of space. I imagine that there is a counter-force that makes all parts of space stick together.

You can imagine anything you like but this is a physics forum, not a personal speculation forum. Please read the rules.

Put in another way, you can imagine anything you like, but the Universe is not under any obligation to work according to your imagination. This is why we do experiments - to figure out what works. Your imagination here does not.

As @phinds has said, all of this is personal speculation, which is off limits here. Your title question has been answered.
