Abstract
A system for coupling the end of a fuel feed hose with the opening of feed equipment placed inside a motor vehicle fuel tank. The end of the hose and opening have resiliently snap-fastening complementary locking mechanisms provided with an elastically-deformable tongue which can be moved to perform unlocking. The tongue is positioned in such a manner that when equipment is mounted inside the tank, it comes into contact or nearly into contact with a wall zone of the tank in such a manner that unlocking the coupling system is not possible.
