1) If you miscalculate and run your car's diesel tank completely empty, re-priming the system of any diesel is less than fun. Sure, it can be done, but it'll be extra work.

2) I'm betting the transfer rate will be like funneling it through a drinking straw. If the car is your only means of transporting fuel to the generator, you'd be better off hauling containers of pump diesel in the trunk. Or, if you insist, you'd still save time by using a piece of hose and siphoning fuel from the car's tank to a container and then, again, filling the generator from a fuel jug instead of using the car as a pump.

It could be done, I'm sure, but to what end? Connecting and disconnecting the lines will make a mess, it will take forever, and it's extra wear and tear on your fuel pump.
