It's not quite as sophisticated as a control - there is a separate gas line to the 80 gallon tank for the exclusive use of the generator - this line terminates (starts) about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way above the bottom of the tank. If the generator is running for an extended time and tries to draw fuel below this level, it simply "runs out of gas" leaving the residual in the tank for the primary mover to get the MoHo to a gas station.
