The invention relates to a fuel storage facility and to a method for filling and/or emptying the tanks of said facility. The storage facility (I) includes at least one light fuel tank (C1,C2,C3) and at least one heavy fuel tank (C4), each of said tanks having a vent pipe (12, 22, 32, 42). All of the vent pipes open into the same collector (14) which is designed to connect said pipes to one another and to be connected to a tank (10) of a delivery vehicle. In addition, regardless of whether they are associated with a light fuel tank or a heavy fuel tank, the vent pipes are provided with means (13, 23, 33, 43) for condensing the vent gases flowing therethrough, the condensates originating from said condensation means being discharged into the at least one light fuel tank. As a result, it is possible to minimise the emission of light fuel vapours from the facility into the atmosphere or into the tank of the delivery vehicle.

Cette installation de stockage (I) comporte au moins une cuve de carburant léger (C1,C2,C3) et au moins une cuve de carburant lourd (C4), chacune de ces cuves étant équipée d'un conduit d'évent (12, 22, 32, 42). Les conduits d'évents débouchent tous dans un même collecteur (14) adapté pour faire communiquer ces conduits les uns avec les autres et pour être connecté à une citerne (10) d'un véhicule de livraison. De plus, les conduits d'évent, qu'ils soient respectivement associés à une cuve de carburant léger ou à une cuve de carburant lourd, sont munis de moyens (13, 23, 33, 43) de condensation des gaz d'évent circulant dans ces conduits, les condensats en provenance de ces moyens de condensation étant évacués vers la ou au moins une des cuves de carburant léger. Il est ainsi possible de réduire au minimum le rejet de vapeurs de carburant léger en dehors de l'installation, que ce soit dans l'atmosphère ou dans la citerne du véhicule de livraison.
