Default Rialta Generator Low Fuel Shut Off

Have 2000 Rialta
I do not camp. I only use the RV for long distant transportation.
I need to run the Onan generator while I am traveling for medical reasons.
I want to disable the automatic generator shut off when the RV fuel gets below 1/4 tank.
Can you provide instructions and possible drawing
Thanks
Gary

Just an opinion but don’t even think about it. It is not electronic. The fuel pickup only goes down to 1/4 tank. Keep the tank above 1/4.

There are better ways to solve your problem.

Add enough lithium battery to run your equipment through the day and use the generator to charge them in the evening. Or a half day and charge at lunch and evening.

Extending the pick up tube would most likely involve dropping the fuel tank. Then you'd have to be careful not to run it till the tank is empty or you'd be stuck.
Or you could carry extra fuel.
