WOW, I would think that would be quite an undertaking since it the 25% or 1/4 tank of fuel is actually where the fuel pickup level is at in the fuel tank for the generator.

Never heard of anyone doing that or even wanting to so don't have any advice. But I would imagine one would have to drop/remove the fuel tank to gain access to the pickup input at the top of the tank.

In our area they recommend to keep the fuel tank full to keep condensation down in the tank from temperature extremes in the winter.

I know our generator uses appox. 1/2 gal. of fuel an hour so it would take many hours of running time to empty a tank of fuel. Also running a generator on a very light load is hard on them so I would not consider it an option to run it without putting a load such as a air conditioner or more on it.

Maybe someone has done it and will reply.
