If the tank the truck engine is pulling fuel from runs dry, yes it will die. "Usually" the truck will be pulling out of the passenger side tank (low side of the road). The engine return line "should" be in the tank that it is pulling from. The same goes for the generator. If the return lines are plumbed to the right side and the engine/generator are pulling frome the left tank,you could get the situation you described or the line running between the tanks (equalizer line) is either to small or has some blockage. You really don't want to run it out of fuel as they can sometimes be a real pain to get restarted. MMM
