[quote=jimbo2012;770845]You can't get rust stains from an Club Car, they don't have steel, all aluminum.
So that is statement is incorrect.

IT IS CORRECT, the stains come from the excess battery acid dropping onto the concrete not rust from the cart. Drive over to Mallory and take a look for yourself.

Stains left from battery acid on concrete, brick, driveways, and sidewalks, will look like a rust stain (reddish-orange in color), but in fact they are burns caused by the acid in the battery.

Most strong acids like battery acid will actually discolor (or “burn”) the concrete when not neutralized within a short time of the spill. These sorts of stains tend to look like brown-orange, puddle-shaped areas on the driveway. The stain is often quite deep, and no products on the market today will satisfactorily remove this orange stain once it been on the cement for an extended amount of time. Too often, pressure washers are used to blast the surface clean when attempting to remove rust stains, which amounts to peeling off a deep layer of the concrete to expose a surface that is less stained. This is not doing the customer any favors they would probably prefer the rust stain!


Further gas carts also have a battery

Gas carts have a single battery that doesn't have to be refilled and charged over and over and over which cause the spills and boil overs.

Gas carts have had leaking fuel tank recalls search Google

Possibly could happen, one in a million, ha ha

Batteries exploding what one in a million....

If you are that one it really won't matter about the others.



Agree, Easyrider loves gas carts all his posts are like that, others like myself like Elec, we all make different choices.

I'm not trying to sell anything so I can be totally objective as I have nothing to gain.

Just make an informed decision. Hold your breath when driving thru tunnels
