Default Re: backfiring on lpg

most LPG systems don't need this as the computer takes care of it, with some old school systems this might be the case but modern LPG uses the stepper motor to control idle mixture. The majority of backfire issues are caused by spark problems,

I also notice that I get 310km from a tank full of LPG in summer and 360km from a tank full in winter.
