False Tones on a 3-valve tuba

I need to know if there is a way to play from low E to pedal Bb below the staff with a three valve tuba. Without the fourth valve, I seem to be missing those notes. I can play down to low F and then skip to pedal Bb easily, but I wonder if there are false fingerings I could possibly use. By the way, I am playing on a Yamaha YBB-104 (sorry, it's all I've got to work with). Thanks for your help and please don't laugh to hard at my (in)ability and equipment.
