Gen cutting out at 1/2 Tank

My generator wont run below 1/2 instead of 1/4 tank of fuel. Its a Onan 5500 in a 2000 georgetown 345S. Anyone know if this common?

Does it use the vehicle tank or does it have a tank of it's own?

This is a onboard gen and uses the main fuel tank. Dave.

I would say that 1/2 tank is where you fuel pickup tube ended up being installed.

Did you just buy that from All Valley RV? If so, it's been that way since new. It was my old one.

A great unit by the way!

My Gas Guage at 1/2 a tank is really closer to 1/4 of tank.

Exactly! And add the fact that if you don't 'drip' the last 10 gallons in when filling up, you're starting at about 4/5 tank.
