Abstract

Pressurized gas tank comprises a casing provided with an opening communicating with an orifice and connecting the inside of the tank with the outside. Gas flow through the orifice is controlled by a flow control valve. The casing is elastically deformable in response to the gas pressure contained in said tank (1). Deformation of the tank is transmitted to the flow control valve to control the flow of gas therethrough.
