    The GMH recommended 'plug for LPG is the standard 'plug, 1.5mm gap, as used for petrol. The replacement interval becomes 20K km (vs 40K km) though. Provided the coil can jump the gap and the voltage doesn't "leak" elsewhere i.e. the coils and leads are good, the wider gap will reduce the incidence of misfire.

    THe plus is BPR6EFS-13 as its 1.3mm gap instead of 1.5. I am currently running the specific Bosch LPG Plug (http://www.bosch.com.au/content/lang...4_Brochure.pdf) , with a stock gap of 0.7mm and platinum tip. Champion Gold are excellent as well, and re gap to 1.3 or lower.
