Said filling system also comprises a liquid valve in the liquid channel, a gas return tube that projects past the at least one outlet on one end, for controlling the level of the filling material in the filled container, and is connected to a gas chamber, formed for example in the tank, by means of a fluid connection. The filling system also comprises an open fluid channel inside the filling element, in the region of the outlet. Said channel can be connected to a ring channel guiding a gaseous and/or vaporous fluid under pressure, preferably an inert gas under pressure, and controlled by at least one first control valve.
