747-400F Stab Fuel Tank

Do any -400F have stab fuel tanks and if not why is this so ? and what will happen to the tank on the pax to SF conversions ?

Thanks for reply, back to the first part of the question do any -400F off the production line have stab tanks fitted ??? I have yet to see one

Just been scanning some manuals; It seems the stab tank is an option on the -F, but am not aware of any airplane that actually has it.

The HS Tank was an option on the pax/combi 747-400 and I believe there were a few airplanes without it. It was not available on the -400F, at least when I was last involved, and will be deleted during a pax/combi conversion to -400 special freighter.
