Suggest taking it to someone who knows what they are doing. It has nothing to do with the fuel you have in it.

I have a club car efi that will occasionally backfire. It will usually happen after I have been on a long stretch of the MMP and then let up a little. Bow’s explanation sounds reasonable...
