[#1886852]

I've got a PFP-3; the pressure gauge sits at 1 bar at rest (so it's giving me absolute rather than gauge pressure) - anyone know how I can reset it so it zeros at rest, or do I need a new gauge?

Isn't 1 bar ambient pressure? Should it not read that by default?

On some pressure gauges you can rotate the scale so that the zero lines up with the needle, thus zeroing the gauge to atmosphereic pressure.

No - it should read relative pressure.

Sadly, this isn't one of them :-/

I've just had an email from Park asking for an address for sending me a replacement part - all sounds promising...
