Yes, sorry and I meant to say that the tank can only be drawn 3/4's down to the 1/4 mark. It makes sense when you think about it. Run your genny until it starves for fuel and you still have a 1/4 tank left to get underway and find fuel.James,
Thanks for this fantastic write-up. One clarification, you say that the generator feeds are only to 3/4 fuel level for safety. Did you mean to say that they are only to the 1/4 tank fuel level? If so, then this may be the solution to my issue that I've been experiencing recently. My gennie has been periodically dying while underway. My boating has been limited due to injuries suffered from an auto accident and so I've not been putting $$$ fuel in the tanks, only $.
Thank you for correcting that. Hope your recovery continues.
