English term or phrase: FOT
Es geht in einer Tabelle um Standortbezeichnungen auf einem Schiff: "Tank part: Fore Peak Tank, No. 1 WBT, No.1 FOT, Aft Peak Tank"

Für Fore Peak Tank hab ich "Vorpiektank gefunden" für Aft Peak Tank "Hinterpiektank", WBT könnte Ballastwassertank heißen, aber was ist FOT? Hat jemand einen Vorschlag?

Notes to answerer
Asker: @ sibsab und MMUIr: Vielen Dank, das war bei mir ein klassischer Fall von '"nicht nachgedacht". Im Text kommt fuel oil tank vor - hätte man also drauf kommen können... Es ist hier aber tatsächlich der Brennstoff- oder Kraftstofftank gemeint (es geht um Schiffe, die mit Schweröl fahren).
