Question : the oil filter I got from NAPA is a hydraulic oil filter the oil I am using is Valvoline 10w -30 motor oil , it's this filter going to be ok whit the engine oil?

This is not as odd as it sounds. My older Atlas manual stated quite clearly that the hydraulic oil is " X " BUT if this is not available then Engine oil to the specification *** can be used in its place.

I think the important thing is do not mix them.

Many will swear by X brand but I find it comes down to ease of supply. Its alright somebody only using OEM oils when the dealer is at the end of the street, if you or I have to do a 150mls round trip or use non OEM parts/fluids we both know what we will use. :drinkup

I am looking for information on an 863 on how to access the fuel tank to change out the fuel siphon tube.

I am sure there is a thread on this as AtcoEquip and I had quite a giggle over it at the time. I have had a quick run back and think you might find these of use.
