WBGO Generator Cutoff 1/4 Tank?

Does anyone know if WBGO design coaches so that the generator will shut off automatically at 1/4 tank full?

I have a 2019 29ve. I have never had my generator cutoff below 1/4 tank, but I hear about this all the time. It is very rare I am under 1/4 tank and if I were I may not have needed my generator.

If anybody knows how this is suppose to work so I don't have to call WBGO,I would appreciate. My manual says nothing of it, so I am assuming there is no such cutoff?

Yes, the cutoff is at 3/4 empty.

It’s not any thing fancy they just install the fuel pickup for the generator at about the bottom 1/4 of the tank’s volume.

Will I do any damage if I purposely just let it run to watch it cutoff? I would be curious to know how many miles to E when it happens. My guess is that it would be around 120 miles left.

In my view it cause no problem assuming the tank bottom is not full of debris, and you might want to know that before it got to the RV engine!
Filter, etc. should not allow it to go anywhere bad.
When you try to restart after refilling the tank, it may logically take longer to draw fuel into the lines?
