It's gasoline with a high sulphur content you want to avoid. Read Broadbean747's thread here:

No, unless the engine has been previously run on high sulphur fuel. There is nothing inherently wrrong with Nikasil engines. High sulphur fuel caused premature bore wear on these. Make sure the source of LPG is low sulphur snd you will get more hippy shags than Frank Sinatra.
