A method for producing a high-pressure tank that can, when forming a reinforcement layer following a previous reinforcement layer using fiber bundles, ensure the strength of the tank by reducing disturbance of the orientation of the fiber bundles. The method is adapted to form each reinforcement layer by winding fiber bundles while holding a preset tension for each layer, and includes a winding start step of stopping rotation of the tank liner upon completion of formation of at least one of the reinforcement layers, and, at the start of forming a following reinforcement layer, winding the fiber bundles at a tension smaller than a preset tension for the following reinforcement layer while alternately repeating rotation of the tank liner in the forward direction and the reverse direction, thereby forming a winding start portion of the following reinforcement layer; and a main winding step of winding the fiber bundles at the preset tension after the winding start step, so as to complete the formation of the following reinforcement layer.
A method for producing a high-pressure tank by forming a fiber-reinforced resin layer having a plurality of sequentially stacked reinforcement layers by winding resin-impregnated fiber bundles around an outer periphery of a tank liner having a storage space while rotating the tank liner about a shaft center of the tank liner in one direction,
