Abstract
A manufacturing method for a high pressure tank, includes preparing a liner, and forming a helical layer by helical-winding fiber bundles around the liner, wherein a plurality of layers included in the helical layer include: base turnback layers formed by winding the fiber bundles while a base section of each of caps projecting outward of the liner is used as a winding turnback position where the fiber bundles are turned back in the axial direction; and distant turnback layers formed by winding the fiber bundles while a distant position distant from each base section is used as the winding turnback position, and in the distant turnback layers, the helical-winding is performed such that gaps are generated between adjacent fiber bundles of the fiber bundles.
