A tank defines an inner cavity and at least an opening. A filler tube device comprises a tube passing through the opening in the tank, the tube forming a joint with at least one degree of freedom with the tank such that the tube is displaceable relative to the tank. The tube has an open end in the inner cavity of the tank, and an opposite open end outside of the tank, whereby the tube defines a passage for filling the tank. A sealing component is in the inner cavity of the tank, the sealing component configured for collaborating with the open end of the tube when the tube is moved into engagement therewith to close the open end of the tube inside the tank in a protective position.
