Abstract: A storage tank for storing a liquid comprises a main storage chamber; an internal sub chamber located within the storage tank; and a reclosable filling opening for enabling filling of liquid into the main storage chamber and internal sub chamber. An overflow level of the internal sub chamber is located substantially at or above a predetermined fill level of the main storage chamber. The reclosable filling opening and the internal sub chamber are arranged in a substantially superposed relationship in a vertical direction, such that a substantially or entirely vertical stream of liquid filling the storage tank via the reclosable filling opening is configured to enter the internal sub chamber. A method for filling a storage tank with a liquid, a method for manufacturing a storage tank for storing a liquid, and a system comprising a storage tank and a filling nozzle are also described.
