I have two 1000fg factors with one of these gauges on it and was told rule of thumb was when it reads -20 to change filter.
Have never seen any - or + reading appart from when I clicked lever over to check if gauge worked and it went -
Yesterday we did a 9 hour run, last few hours due to weather I was running a bit harder than usual and when I did an ER check when anchored the gauge was reading +10.
Have never seen a + reading before.
Drained a litre out of the crud sump and spotless
Checked filters and spotless.
Tanks are on same level, being near full there could be slight + head but it doesn't register sitting.
Have googled and found no instructions for this gauge
Anyone got an idea as to why + pressure?
