Hi Stewart,

That is clearly abnormal and I would say is more likely to be ignition related than petrol. I would begin with a full engine service, looking out for poor electrical connections and paying particular attention to the sparking plugs.

Since we are in the middle of winter, check that your battery is fully charged by putting it on a smart charger for 24 hours.

The other possibility is that the fault is a result of the LPG conversion but I cannot help you with that.
