A gas storage tank ( 1 ) has a high pressure resistant shell ( 10 ) and a fluid control system ( 5 ). The fluid control system ( 5 ) has an inlet fluid branch ( 20 ) and an outlet fluid branch ( 30 ). The inlet fluid branch ( 20 ) comprises a check valve ( 21 ) and the outlet fluid branch ( 30 ) comprises a pressure regulator ( 32 ) and a pressure assisted check valve ( 31 ). Preferably, the fluid control system ( 5 ) also comprises an inlet filter, an outlet filter and flow restriction. The fluid control system ( 5 ) is preferably situated entirely on the inside of the high pressure resistant shell ( 10 ). The fluid control system ( 5 ) is preferably provided as a miniaturized system realised in a stack of bonded wafers, where part devices are formed by micromachined geometrical structures. A method for gas handling with the gas storage tank ( 1 ) and a manufacturing method for the gas storage tank ( 1 ) are also presented.
