We report the results of spectrophotometric determinations of chemical abundances for a planetary nebulae sample located outside the solar circle, with galactocentric distances between 8 and 14 kpc. Our results show a decreasing gradient for R>10 kpc and a possible dependence of the gradient with the age of the progenitors (Work supported by FAPESP).
