The invention relates to a gas filling and distribution head (2) which is intended to be disposed in a hole in a pressurized gas storage tank. The inventive head (2) includes a mounting segment (21) which is intended to be housed in the hole in the tank and an expansion segment which houses a pre-expansion device (22), said pre-expansion device (22) being arranged in relation to the mounting segment (21) such as to be housed at least partially inside the tank when the head is in the mounted position. The head (2) also includes: a filling circuit which extends between a first end which is equipped with a filling hole (6) and a second end which is intended to communicate with the interior of the tank, and an extraction circuit which extends between a first end which is intended to communicate with the interior of the tank and a second end which is equipped with an extraction hole. The invention is characterized in that the filling hole (6) is aligned with the extraction hole.

1. A tank for pressurized fluid, comprising: (i) a casing delimiting a storage volume and provided with an orifice for communicating with the inside of the tank, and(ii) the tank comprising a filling and distribution head positioned at the orifice, the filling and distribution head comprising: (a) a mounting portion intended to be housed in the orifice of the tank,(b) an isolating member,(c) a pressure-regulating portion housing a pre-regulating device, the pre-regulating device being positioned relative to the mounting portion such that it is housed at least partially inside the tank when the head is in the mounted position, wherein the pre-regulating device comprises a pre-regulating valve urged toward a seat and subjected to the opposing force of a pre-regulating piston, andwherein the pre-regulating piston comprises an internal duct connected, on the one hand, to the isolating member and, on the other hand, to a low-pressure chamber situated at the junction between the seat and the pre-regulating piston,(d) a filling circuit extending between a first end provided with a filling orifice and a second end intended to communicate with the inside of the tank,(e) a tapping-off circuit extending between a first end communicating with the inside of the tank and a second end provided with a tapping-off orificewherein the filling orifice coincides with the tapping-off orifice. 2. The tank of claim 1, wherein the isolating member is an isolating valve. 3. The tank of claim 1, wherein the isolating member is positioned relative to the mounting portion so that the isolating member is at least partially housed inside the volume of the tank when the head is mounted in position in the orifice of a tank. 4. The tank of claim 1, wherein the isolating member is formed in such a way that the isolating member can be opened and/or closed by an actuating element external to the head. 5. The tank of claim 3, wherein the isolating member is formed in such a way that the isolating member can be opened and/or closed by an actuating element external to the head. 6. The tank of claim 1, wherein the isolating member is housed at least partially inside the volume of the head and is accessible to an actuating element external to the head via an access orifice formed in the head. 7. The tank of claim 3, wherein the isolating member is housed at least partially inside the volume of the head and is accessible to an actuating element external to the head via an access orifice formed in the head. 8. The tank of claim 4, wherein the isolating member is housed at least partially inside the volume of the head and is accessible to an actuating element external to the head via an access orifice formed in the head. 9. The tank of claim 5, wherein the isolating member is housed at least partially inside the volume of the head and is accessible to an actuating element external to the head via an access orifice formed in the head. 10. The tank of claim 6, wherein the access orifice providing access to the isolating member coincides with the orifice adapted for filling and for tapping-off. 11. The tank of claim 1, wherein the isolating member is positioned downstream of the pre-regulating device on the tapping-off circuit between the first end and the second end of the tapping-off circuit. 12. The tank of claim 1, wherein the filling and tapping-off circuits have at least one portion in common. 13. The tank of claim 1, wherein the pre-regulating device comprises a two-way valve mechanism selectively allowing pressure-regulated gas to leave the tank or high-pressure gas to enter the tank depending on the pressure differential across the two-way valve mechanism. 14. A tank for pressurized fluid, comprising (a) a casing delimiting a storage volume and provided with an orifice for communicating with the inside of the tank, and(b) the tank comprising a filling and distribution head positioned at the orifice, wherein the tank is a tank according to claim 1, and in that the isolating member and the pre-regulating device are positioned in one and the same duct along which fluid flows between the inside and the outside of the tank, the filling and the emptying of the tank being performed via one and the same orifice and along one and the same axis that coincides with the axis of the tank. 15. The tank of claim 14, wherein the filling and tapping-off circuits have at least one portion in common. 16. The tank of claim 14, wherein the pre-regulating device comprises a two-way valve mechanism selectively allowing pressure-regulated gas to leave the tank or high-pressure gas to enter the tank depending on the pressure differential across the two-way valve mechanism. 17. The tank of claim 14, wherein the filling circuit comprises a bypass portion that bypasses the pre-regulating device to prevent filling gas from passing through the pre-regulating device during filling. 18. A tank for pressurized fluid, comprising: (i) a casing delimiting a storage volume and provided with an orifice for communicating with the inside of the tank, and(ii) the tank comprising a filling and distribution head positioned at the orifice, the filling and distribution head comprising: (a) a mounting portion intended to be housed in the orifice of the tank,(b) an isolating member,(c) a pressure-regulating portion housing a pre-regulating device, the pre-regulating device being positioned relative to the mounting portion such that it is housed at least partially inside the tank when the head is in the mounted position,(d) a filling circuit extending between a first end provided with a filling orifice and a second end communicating with the inside of the tank,(e) a tapping-off circuit extending between a first end intended to communicate with the inside of the tank and a second end provided with a tapping-off orificewherein the filling orifice coincides with the tapping-off orifice;wherein the isolating member and the pre-regulating device are positioned in one and the same duct along which fluid flows between the inside and the outside of the tank, the filling and the emptying of the tank being performed via one and the same orifice and along one and the same axis that coincides with the axis of the tank; andwherein the filling circuit further comprises a bypass portion that bypasses the pre-regulating device to prevent filling gas from passing through the pre-regulating device during filling.
