Default Spark plugs

Hey,
According to forum posts, manual states plugs should be gaped to 0.9mm. As I had my car converted to lpg, I decided to visit specifics shop, which sold me 0.8mm spark plugs, suggesting that I should get them gaped to 0.7mm. Is that correct, or will 0.8 do?

I have BOSCH N08 FR8DC (no idea what that means, are they platinum, iridium?...)

Thanks for the reply,
But you see, LPG converted vehicles need different spark plugs, usually it's all in the gap. So I'm wondering if .8mm will do do, or I'll need .7mm...

You post #1 stated you converted to mpg, not lpg. I'm sure some one with information will be along soon.

Ah gotcha, I did wonder about the "mpg", now that makes more sense

Good luck, I have no idea about LPG.
