    49 CFR CH.III (393.65) 6d

    Is the only regulation governing the use of a gasoline powered portable generator.

    Simply stated: it must not be gravity fed.

    This is the CFR regarding fuel tanks: 49 CFR § 393.67 - Liquid fuel tanks.

    You are sucking the batteries dry. Put a solar panel to charge them, should run all night.
