My newly acquired e36 m52 LPG'd 328 could do with a service.
As part of this, i intend to replace the plugs (with standard parts-none of this "LPG specific plug" nonsense)
Would altering the electrode gap provide any benefit to performance/starting on LPG?
this is my first LPG car, so I'm unsure and have read mixed info regarding it.
For info, The car runs an Induction LPG setup,(will upgrade to sequential when I can afford to) and has a MAF setup.
thanks
2.8 m52 LPG spark plug gap?

The M50/M52 plugs have twin electrodes mate, no adjustment, I use NGK BKR 6EK on my LPG chariot with no issues

I'm new to this multi valve malarky!
on the plus side, it is cheap to run, and I dare say would be faster at York than my 320i..even with a 65L tank in the boot

Yeah but you have LPG to balance the cost now
If you wait till the end of the shootout its free for all, I did about 15 runs at the end all in about 20-30 mins at the easter sunday just gone.
There is no mention of a shootout for the june bank holiday monday coming up so im expecting it will be a free for all most of the day
