Is it missing on both fuels? or only on LPG?

LPG is more sensitive to spark issues, and I would suggest that if you have not replaced the leads and plugs for some time, then that is a good place to start.

when hot and only under power.. first thing that springs to mind is the coil.

here's a test, get it nice and hot, then park it with the engine running and give the coil hit with some water. If it creates a misfire, then the coil stuffed.
