A device is provided for filling a tank with a combustible medium from storage container. Supply means are disposed on the side of the storage container and receiving means are disposed on the side of the tank for introducing the medium into the tank. The supply means and the receiving means include closing means. The device further includes potential equalization means for equalizing an electrical potential between the storage container and the tank. The potential equalization means are arranged on the supply means or on the receiving means so that when the supply means move towards the receiving means, the potential equalization means can be forced into electrical contact with the housing of the tank. When the supply means subsequently come even closer to the chassis, the potential equalization means unlocks the closing means disposed on the supply means and/or the receiving means.
