And what is the maximum weight of pressure on the towbar? As far as I remember, no more than 100 kg. And in the photo it is clearly more than 100 kg

At least. I have the Z82 trailering package and, while the internet reports numbers all over the place, most seem to be 700+.

The hitch is definitely rated for a lot more than 100 kg. Even still, with petrol being ~.75 kg per litre, that's only about 29 kg in fuel. The jugs and rack don't weigh much, maybe another 25 kg, combined, at most.
