Original Abstract Submitted

a tank includes a liner and a reinforcement layer. the liner has a body portion with a cylindrical shape, and a pair of dome-shaped portions respectively provided at both ends of the body portion in an axial direction of the body portion. the reinforcement layer covers the liner and is made of a fiber reinforced resin that is a resin-impregnated fiber bundle. the reinforcement layer includes a part reinforcement layer disposed from an apex side of each of the dome-shaped portions across a boundary between the dome-shaped portion and the body portion to part of the body portion, and an outer hoop layer disposed outside the part reinforcement layer and provided so as to press an end, adjacent to the body portion, of the part reinforcement layer.
