I have been wondering about the pump pressure gauge as when you push down you get a reading that is different to the reading when you pull the handle up, this is also different to the reading when you stop pumping.
This might be a real dumb ass question but which reading is the one to watch? up, down or at rest?
I am interested to hear how other people read their gauges as i am sure i am not the only one who is thinking this (or maybe i am). Anyway the pushing down is the highest second is the pulling up and at rest it is the lowest. The range of readings can be anything up to 3 psi difference.
I have been using the pushing down on the pump as this is the highest reading is that correct?
Tell me how you read your gauges folks.
