1. A device for fastening a tank for pressurized gas, such as hydrogen, to a frame, the tank comprising a base including a cylindrical seat, the device comprising:
a fastener able to clamp the cylindrical seat of the base, and where the fastener comprises at least two jaws and at least two screws assembling the at least two jaws by gripping the at least two jaws against one another while clamping the cylindrical seat between the at least two jaws; and
at least one mechanical fuse able to break in response to an impact experienced by the frame, so that the device releases the base from the frame, and where the at least one mechanical fuse is made by weakening the at least two screws to break in case of impact, so that the at least two jaws separate from one another and release the base.
