We will be buying a gas cart so the question is can we buy it now and leave it sitting for the 3-5 month periods between visits without damage or should we just use our car for the visits and wait until we get here for good?
We had a similar situation as you. We used Sta-bil marine type fuel additive without problems. Before we left for an extended period, I'd treat the fuel, drive it around for a bit then put the cart in neutral and run the engine until the fuel was used up in the line, carb and fuel filter.
Never had a problem doing it this way.
