problem: cng tanks are changed for lpg tanks. Ecu thinks engine is still running on petrol because dual fuel petrol and cng were installed. Octane of petrol is lower as lpg. so because octane of lpg is higher as from petrol a later ignitionpoint is needed now the ignitionpont comes also to early with result less power. Can stand aloneknocksensor solve this problem ??
