Station and method for supplying a flammable fuel fluid

A station for supplying a flammable fluid fuel, the station (1) comprising a first cryogenic tank (2) for storing flammable fuel in the form of a cryogenic liquid, a second cryogenic tank (3) for storing a non-flammable gas and notably an inert gas stored in the form of a cryogenic liquid, a cooling circuit (4, 14) in a heat-exchange relationship with the first tank (2), the cooling circuit (4, 14) comprising an upstream end connected to the second cryogenic tank (3) for drawing cryogenic fluid from the second cryogenic tank (3) in order to give up frigories from the fluid of the second cryogenic tank (3) to the first tank (2), the station comprising a circuit (4, 14, 7) for withdrawing fluid from the second tank (3), characterized in that the station comprises at least a detector (5) of fuel leaks from the first tank (2) and at least a controlled member (6, 11) for opening a portion of the withdrawing circuit (4, 14, 7), the at least one opening member (6) being controlled automatically in response to a detection of a leak by the at least one detector (5) in order to release fluid derived from the second cryogenic tank (3) so as to inert a volume within the station.
