Generator Fuel Consumption and Quirks

The tank is so huge that it is very difficult to fill it up the same way twice. And because the generator also takes fuel, it has its own reserve tank of about 50 gallons. This is strange because I fill up the tank, the generator is running, and nothing changes.
