Abstract
A tank for pressurized flammable gas, such as hydrogen, comprising at least one primary cylinder of pressurized flammable gas and at least one secondary cylinder of pressurized extinguishing gas. The at least one primary cylinder is individually equipped with a safety device that is capable of automatically releasing the flammable gas contained in said at least one primary cylinder toward the open air in the event of detection of an overheating situation of the at least one primary cylinder. The at least one secondary cylinder of pressurized extinguishing gas is fluidically connected with each safety device, and the safety device is configured to release extinguishing gas simultaneously with a release of flammable gas.
