Hi all, I have a VS V6 on duel fuel, can someone tell me the correct spark plug gap please.
I was told previously to gap them at 1.3, but just have been told it is to wide, should be 0.8, I get a misfire occansionaly, just wondering if the gap is to wide and causing these misfires, everything else checks out good.
thanks for any advise.
Ok thanks mate, much appreciated.
I have been using NGK plugs, just wondering what is the name of the colder plugs, sorry don't know much about them.
thanks
I would run a Bosch HR 8 DCX for gas VS V6. Its one heat range colder and 1.1mm gap already.
Excellent choice in standard plugs.
If you want the PERFECT LPG PLUG I would go for the Bosch Platinum plus :
HR 8 KI 332 W.
Thats straight from Bosch's new LPG spark plug catalogue.
The Platinum plus's are an awesome gas plug. They are only slightly dearer than a stock plug as they are not double platinum. they run a super fine platinum centre electrode with a tapered Yyitrium ground electrode with a specialised insulator nose that is perfect for the rigours of LPG combustion.
I use them alot in my workshop and have found that ignition reliability has increased 10 fold with backfires becoming a non event in the vehicles that run these plugs.
They also outlast stock plugs. You can run them for at least 30,000km (have seen 50K with no probs). The beauty of them is that their firing voltage requirements don't increase much as they age, unlike stock plugs. They will use almost the same voltage to fire them old as when new. This decreases the likeyhood of backfire by heaps. They take far less voltage to fire them when compared to a standard plug too. this once again adds to ignition reliability. And the insulator nose is resistant to fouling which can occur in a dual fuel vehicle.
If you find it hard to get the HR 8 KI 332 W go for the HR 8 DPX's. They will be a bit easier to find I think and will do the same job.
I am loving these Platinum plus plugs on gas. Try them you will not be dissapointed.
