1. A filler device for filling a tank equally well by gravity or under pressure, the filler device being provided with a gravity filler spout including a hollow tube, wherein the filler device includes a pressure filler spout inserted in the gravity filler spout and reversibly fastened thereto, said pressure filler spout including end-of-filling control means that co-operate with a pressure connector of said gravity filler spout when said pressure filler spout is fastened to said gravity filler spout, wherein a closure of the pressure connector activates the end-of-filling control means to co-operate with and close a filler orifice in the pressure filler spout to finish a pressure refueling;
wherein the filler device includes an inlet chamber through which a fluid penetrates into the pressure filler spout during a filling stage, said filler device being provided with an intermediate chamber separated from said inlet chamber by a stationary wall, said stationary wall including the filler orifice connecting said inlet chamber to said intermediate chamber, said intermediate chamber being provided with at least one filler channel suitable for directing said fluid towards a tank, said pressure filler spout being provided with control means for closing said filler orifice at the end of a pressure filling stage.
