B.747-400

Four tanks in each wing;

Left wing from root to tip: No2, No1, Reserve No2, Left Surge
Right wing from root to tip: No3, No4, Reserve No3, Right Surge

One tank between the wings:

Centre Wing Tank

Optional extra: One Tank in the Horizontal Stabiliser (actually two tanks, i.e. one in each tail plane, but treated as one tank:

Stabiliser Tank

So, ten tanks in all, or nine if the Stab Tank is not fitted.
