A fuel system for installation in a hydrogen-powered vehicle and for one or more hydrogen pressure tanks configured for a high pressure level of at least 200 bar, includes connections for input and output lines and at least the following internal components: a pressure reducer, a gas filter, a shut-off valve, a vent valve, an overpressure safety valve and a pressure sensor. The pressure reducer is a two-stage pressure reducer which reduces the pressure of the hydrogen from the high pressure level from the pressure tank to a medium pressure level between 3 bar and 30 bar. The first stage reduces the pressure from the pressure tank to an intermediate level between 40 and 80 bar and the second stage further reduces the pressure to the medium pressure level. The internal components and gas lines interconnecting these internal components are disposed in an integral and self-supporting modular unit.
