Title: 2.0 16V LPG PLUG GAPS
Post by Lleeda on Oct 29^th, 2004, 9:00pm

I forgot to mention in the previous post my car is LPG, can someone tell me if the plug gap is any different.

Thanks

Steve

hi there

the ford gap is 1.0mm, but for the lpg i would go for 0.8/0.9mm.

what plugs would you recommend for 2.3 LPG.

I have a set of unused Bosh Super 4 but they are FR78X I don't think they are the right gap but need some more help.

Why does LPG run better with a smaller gap?

hi there

lpg doesn't burn as good as petrol, so you need more spark to ignite it.
as for plugs i'm not sure. i was using denso plugs but i've changed back to the ford platinum ones again (0.85mm gap). the denso one seemed to have gone off after about 12k. i'm waiting until my r/r setup before fitting new plugs. i'll post any info i find out.
