Abstract
A container for fluids comprises an outer casing of flexible, pressure resistant material, a gas tight inner casing of flexible material lying inside of the outer casing and being separated therefrom, and a filling connection for filling the inner casing. As a result, the container is collapsible so that filling the container may take place from the collapsed condition and filling is therefore possible without pressure difference while the fluid does not enter an empty space. The egress of gas from the fluid is substantially reduced.
