The invention is based on the insight that a filling system obtained by combining a 'Kruse' compatible threaded socket and an annular magnet as required for the operation of the 'Elaflex' nozzle, will exhibit air exchange problems related to the difference in the positioning of the respective air intake openings of the &#x201c;Kruse&#x201d; bottle and the &#x201c;Elaflex&#x201d; nozzle. More particularly, the invention is based on the insight that by judiciously providing a chamber in fluid communication with the volume of air or vapor in the tank, filling may be made possible with a &#x201c;Kruse&#x201d; bottle as well as with an &#x201c;Elaflex&#x201d; nozzle.

Filling system for vehicular fluid container

A supply system for a liquid includes a liquid tank, a supply line, a pump, a filter, and a device that makes it possible to purge the line, pump, and filter. The supply system further includes a non-return device preventing liquid from entering into these elements once they have been purged. In this system, the pump, filter and non-return device are combined in a compact module. The filter at least partly surrounds the pump. The non-return device is an integral part of a common housing that surrounds the filter and at least one part of the pump.
