I can see two things wrong:
1: The fuel as described above can be an item. I'd make sure to always be above 1/2 tank since most onboard gensets are configured with a fuel pickup at 1/4 tank. I know that diesel fuel generators do not like being run dry, and it might take actively priming it to get it operable after running out of fuel. Gassers are less of an issue.
2: Does the Energy Command have quiet hours set? Quiet hours override the other items on the generator such as automatically turning on when shore power drops.
