Hi Rick,
I have been burned by the 1/4-tank pickup tube too - as recently as last weekend - so I know where you are coming from!
His description was that the problem occurred on “SHARP right turns” (emphasis mine) which leads me to believe they were of short duration as contrasted with your long sweeping LH turn.
Right turns - especially those of short duration like I would expect a “sharp" one to be - would tend to concentrate fuel to the driver’s side of the tank where the genset pickup tube is located on GMC-upfitted coaches - thus *decreasing* the chance of starvation. Your long sweeping LHT would tend to concentrate fuel *away* from the pickup which would indeed increase the likelihood of starvation.
In any case the unit will, even at full load, be consuming only a few tens of milliliters of fuel per minute and there are many milliliters of inventory available in hoses, filters, pumps and the carb bowl to supply the unit through his seconds-long high-performance turn.
