Another time, I had a 2017 Yamaha gas cart as a loaner, same thing happened. I put the cart in the garage and there was an obnoxious smell of gas. After opening the garage door to air out the garage, the smell dissipated and did not return.

Honestly.....I would not want to have to allow the gas smell to air out before closing my garage door every time I park the cart in the garage.

I LOVE my Yamaha 2016 electric cart.
That was the problem we had with the new 2017 I had for Dad. ALWAYS smelled bad. We took it back to TV carts several times and they always said it was ok...not.... So I sold that cart. My 2012 doesn't smell compared to the 2017. Just got Dad a 2011 Yamaha electric for this season.
