The invention relates to a device (1) for filling a fuel tank (100) with fuel, comprising:- a tube formed member (10) comprising an opening (12) at a top end thereof for receiving fuel from a fuel nozzle, the tube formed member (10) extending in a longitudinal direction (A) of the device (1),- a fuel distribution member (20) arranged to be provided inside the fuel tank (100) and being connected to the tube formed member (10) at a bottom end thereof,wherein the fuel distribution member (20) comprises first and second plate elements (22, 24) which are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction (A) and extend from the tube formed member (10) in a radial direction thereof so that a space for fuel is formed between the first and second plate elements (22, 24),wherein at least one of the first and second plate elements (22, 24) comprises perforations (30) located in an area radially outside of the tube formed member (10) for allowing fuel to enter the fuel tank (100) and wherein a surface (242) of the device (1) defining a bottom of the tube formed member (10), such as a bottom surface (242) of the fuel distribution member (20) which is aligned with the tube formed member (10), is free from perforations, such as solid, so as to prevent unauthorized removal of fuel from the fuel tank (100) during use. The invention further relates to a fuel tank (100), a vehice (200) and to a method.
