Default Golf Cart Gasoline Leak

My neighbor/friend awoke at 1:00 AM yesterday to the smell of gasoline fumes. He found gas leaking from his 2 year old Yamaha. Dealer said it was caused by ethanol in the gas which caused some part (float valve?) to malfunction (not covered under warranty). All of his gas purchases were at a Shell station on 466.

It seems ethanol is causing a lot of grief, real and imagined.
