Claim 0:
1. A vehicle comprising a device for storing and for supplying fluid fuel, said device for storing and for supplying fluid fuel comprising:
a reservoir of liquefied fuel gas in equilibrium with a gas phase; and
a circuit for filling the reservoir;
at least one circuit for tapping fluid from the reservoir;
at least one circuit for regulating the pressure in the reservoir; and
a housing that is separate from the reservoir, wherein:
the filling, tapping, and pressure regulating circuits comprise a set of valves that is arranged in the housing;
the housing is removably connected to the reservoir via a demountable mechanical coupling system;
the filling, tapping, and pressure regulating circuits further comprise a set of demountable fluidic connectors that are located at a junction between the reservoir and the housing and which is configured to allow, during demounting of the housing with respect to the reservoir, separation between portions of the filling, tapping, and pressure regulating circuits that are located in the reservoir and portions of the filling, tapping, and pressure regulating circuits that are located in the housing,
wherein, when the housing is connected to the reservoir, the housing defines a closed volume filled with a neutral atmosphere that is predominantly an inert gas.
