The present invention relates to a tank (100) for a modular hydraulic power unit (1000) for the supply of a pressurized fluid; said tank (100) extending primarily along a vertical direction (D1); said tank (100) being provided with a first opening (101) which is positioned at an upper portion of said tank(100) and through which a fluid can be introduced into said tank (100); said tank (100) further comprising a conduit (102) having a first and a second end portion (102a, 102b), wherein said first end portion (102a) is attached to said first opening (101) and wherein said second end portion (102b) is positioned at a central portion of said tank (100) so as to convey said fluid coming from said first opening (101) to a central portion of said tank (100); wherein said second end portion (102b) of said conduit (102) is configured so as to release the fluid coming from said first opening (101) along a direction substantially perpendicular to said vertical direction (D1) of said tank (100); wherein said tank (100) comprises at least one inclined surfaces (103), which faces said second end portion (102b) of said conduit (102) and which is inclined with respect to said vertical direction (D1) of said tank (100) so as to deflect the flow of fluid coming from said second end portion of said conduit (102) toward an upper portion of said tank (100).
