Abstract:
A tank (10) including a container (15) and a flow line (20) for discharging excess fuel. Said flow line (20) is provided with a pipe (21) and an over-pressure valve (24) arranged inside the container (15). In addition, the tank (10) includes a leaktight bell (30) arranged inside said container, said bell (30) being over the over-pressure valve (24) and surrounding the over-pressure valve (24) at least in part so as to hold air captive in order to isolate the over-pressure valve (24) from the fuel content when said pressure is below said threshold.
