A vent conduit (3) communicating with a gas collector (5) is communicated with vents of other fuel storage tanks and a tank of a loading lorry. An exchanger (4) dehumidifying the gas passing through the vent conduit and includes a refrigeration exchanger that freezes the water and condenses fuel vapor or condensates. A distributing unit (113) distributes the de-icing water and condensates. A valve (112) de-ices and collects the de-icing water.
