Dop you know if your new SS emergency tank for the CJ6 is the same size and could be fitted to the Yak 55 RoydenVancouver Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: doug sapp Sent: Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:59:29 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Re: Yak-List: CJ6 Stainless steel MAIN air tank John,No, not at this time. But if I cold get at least 10 rock solid firm orders for Yak 52 main air tanks I could have them done in tandem with the CJ6 emergency air tanks. That would make them available in 60 days. The way the schedule stands now 52 main tanks are scheduled for sometime in the spring of the year. Doug On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 6:18 AM, John Nolan wrote: Doug, Any tanks for the Yak-52?

The cost for the stainless steel "forever" tank is $800.00 per tank, a little less than twice the current cost of $485.00 for the old style std steel tank. As you may already know the stock steel tanks are becoming nearly impossible to find at any price. Considering the expected life, and the fact that you will no longer have the cost to inspect, I think it is a fair price and in time I think you will see it as a selling point. I will continue to stock the standard steel tanks when ever I can find them, last shipment I ordered 12 and was able to receive only 2. We expect the smaller emergency tank will be slightly less expensive. The remaining small bits, the nipple, plug and crush seals total about $27.00.

This tank should be the last air tank which you should ever have to buy, and depending on the opinion of your mechanic, the fact that it is stainless should negate the need for future inspections. It's my opinion that this tank is about as close to a forever or lifetime tank as you can get, that being said I would still recommend removing and cleaning the tank on a biannual basis which will go a long way in extending the life of your QDF-1, and gear and flap valves. Due to the high cost of manufacture this first test run was only 20 tanks, if they are well received I will order up additional stock. In 60 days we will have 20 CJ6 emergency tanks in stock also. When ordering please ask for H2-5505-40SS which is the tank alone without fittings. No problem using your old plug and nipple in the new tanks, but new crush washer/seals should be installed. Should you prefer new fittings please order the following:H2-H2-5505-31 Nipple 1 eaH2-H2-5505-32/1 Copper crush washer 2 eachH2-5506-13 Plug 1 each Please contact me off list if interested.
