I have always purchased my golf cart gas at the Villages Golf Carts pumps in Sumter. I went there today and the pumps were out of order. No information was available as to when they might be back in service.

Are there any other pumps around that have ethanol-free gas?

Go to the Villages Golf Cart store in Spanish Springs, they have ethanol free pumps there as well. Another option is to go through the gate in the historic section that requires use of your gate card. On the other side of the gate you can drive your golf cart to several places including Lowel’s, Walmart, and WaWa. WaWa has ethanol free gas pumps. When I go to WaWa to fill up the cart I also fill up a couple two gallon gas cans which fit snugly in the basket in the cart. The gas at WaWa is also much cheaper than from the Villages Golf Cart pumps.

Good luck : )

Check Gas Buddy. That site should also show if the gas station is open and has gas.

Was it during the power outage (say, 1:00 pm to 1:45 pm or so)?

OP, you are throwing your money away, look at your owners manual, most if not all state E10 gas for these. I have been using this gas (aka regular) in our 2017 Yamaha EFI cart since we bought it with no problems. Probably saved a couple of hundred dollars.

Same here. I've only used regular gasoline in both our 2013 EFI carts. We were told that's all you need as they are low compression engines. I do occasionally put 2 ounces of fuel injector cleaner in the tank, clean and check the spark plug gap.

probably. I wasn't paying close attention to the time, but all of the mechanics at the garage were sitting outside doing nothing, so it would make some sense that they were without power.

I would agree with that if you are a full time resident and your cart never sits without being used for extended periods of time. However, if your cart goes for extended periods of time without use, trying to save a few bucks on E10 gas can wind up costing you some significant money, time, and aggravation if it gums up your fuel delivery system. Plus, ethanol free gas burns better and gets you a little bit higher MPG. I can’t remember how many carburetors in seasonal use small engines I have had to disassemble, clean out, and rebuild over the years because of gas containing ethanol.

Exactly ethanol free gas you would put in vehicle engines like boats. Don’t waste your money on that fuel regular gas and once in a while put some high test you’re good to go.

7-11 in Colony

Regular fuel has ethanol which will let the cart run but it will eat the fuel line and let it become blocked

[banjobob]

That must pertain to certain carts mine runs on regular pump with ethanol, and has for years with no side effects.

A simple occasional added fuel injector cleaner will clean it perfectly,
