1.8 FRP Tank (option)
Use an FRP tank supplied by FURUNO. Other makes of tank may be used, however
watertightness cannot be guaranteed by FURUNO. A non-FURUNO make of tank
should meet the following requirements:
• The surface of the FRP tank flange must be flush (within 0.5 mm) with tank.
• Use the liquid gasket recommended by shipyard.

*: Liquid gasket is not supplied with the FRP tank, because of export restrictions in
each country. Prepare TB1121 or TB1184 (ThreeBond Holdings Co., Ltd.) locally.
