Finally guys!!

Anyway, very important question.
I have heard that NGK makes special sparkplugs for CNG/LPG cars?? Laserline iridium or platinium plugs which offer more compatibility with CNG engines. Is this required or will normal plugs do??

Hi FRank, been using regular & Toyota OEM spark plugs for the past 6 years in an LPG car, no problems ever.
See the recommended Heat range for the plug. I don't know it off hand but yes, toyota OEM plugs work best.

My fitter(Greenglobe) asked me to use NGK Plugs. However, these were not iridium or platinum - just regular NGK ones, I think. The plug was called NGK BKR6E - it cost around 90Rs per plug last time (6 months back).
