Default golf cart questions re fueling and tire pressure

Unfortunately we're back in RI for a while but before we left I filled up my 2017 Yamaha gas cart for the first time at the Sumter Villages station. I believe it is ethanol free there. At Carts and Clubs they said to add the fuel stabilizer with each fill-up which I did. That's needed with the ethanol free gas too, correct?

Also is there a way to keep the seat in an upright position while you're taking the gas cap off and refueling. Maybe I missed that feature when everything was explained to me. I should mention that it is a custom seat. It's a bit of a pain holding the seat up.

Finally I was told that I should overinflate the tires for the 6 weeks that we will be gone. On the tire is says maximum inflation is 35 psi. Actual psi seemed to be about 18. Carts and clubs said to overinflate to about 30. The villages golf carts said 23-24 would be fine. I ended up inflating to 25. Any thoughts on this? What should the normal inflation be?

Thanks in advance for answering my newbie golf cart questions.
