  • Patent number: 12589985
    Abstract: The equipment includes a tank having a filler neck extending along a main axis and a member for filling the tank through the neck. In particular, the member is configured so that it can be mounted to slide inside the neck along the said axis between a proximal position in which the neck is closed and a distal position in which the tank can be filled from a distance. The member includes a tubular body provided with a closed distal end portion and a peripheral wall provided with a filling mouth, the member being configured so that in the proximal position the distal portion forms a cap for sealing the neck and in the distal position the filling mouth of the member is released from the neck to allow the reservoir to be filled.
