A collecting tank, for a potentially flammable or explosive environment, includes: a collecting chamber for fluid having a condensate inlet; and a suction opening for extracting fluid. The tank also includes: a Venturi nozzle fluidically connected to the suction opening to generate a vacuum in the suction opening; a pressure medium inlet fluidically connected upstream of the Venturi nozzle to generate a vacuum in the suction opening when pressure medium is introduced into the Venturi nozzle; and an extraction outlet fluidically connected downstream of the Venturi nozzle and to the suction opening, for extracting fluid from the collecting chamber. Methods of operation for the collecting tank and a hydrogen-powered vehicle utilizing the collecting tank are also described.
