Problems that can cause worn out spark plugs on a Fiat Tipo with LPG.

Model: Fiat Tipo MK 1 - Years 1988-2000
Part: Spark plugs

As the YouTuber tells us, spark plugs on LPG cars tend to last less than those on gasoline cars, because LPG burns at higher temperatures than gasoline, and this leads to faster wear of the spark plugs. Although the actual duration may depend on various factors, it is advisable to replace the spark plugs on LPG cars every 25,000 km approximately. It is advisable to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and carry out regular checks, even though the quality of the spark plugs, the type of engine, and driving conditions certainly have their influence. Problems caused by the poor condition of the spark plugs can be: decrease in performance due to poor combustion, increase in fuel consumption, high emissions, knocking in the engine, misfires, engine overheating.
