    Fan Pressure Test

    So I did my first full Worcester Greenstar service today.. cleaned out the burner and didn't bother testing the fan pressure to see if it needed it or not. Mainly being that the mis say to do it with a digital gauge and I don't have one. Can it not be done with a normal u-gauge?
