Hello All,



Question:  Are the Yak 52 and Yak 50 main air tanks the same size? 

                                                   (interchangeable?)



How many liters?



Thanks for any info.....

They are not. The Yak 50’s main air tank is slightly smaller.  Don’t remember the actual volume though. It’s age-related.

I replaced my main tank with a 52 main tank hen it developed a pinhole leak. The square side crush washer in the 52 and replacement round edge rubber washer was a bit of a challenge. Resolved that with crush washers from Doug. 

This has been about 6-7 years ago now. Still holding air as she awaits me to finish refurbishing her.

As best I can tell the 3 liter emergency bottles are the same, but the Yak 50 main air bottle appears to be slightly smaller than the Yak 52 main air bottle.  I stock the new stainless steel Yak bottles in both 3 and 11 liters if needed.

Best,

Doug
