Can you operate portable generators using used motor oil?
A diesel-type engine can be made to run on waste oil, BUT used motor oil also contains many toxins such as heavy metals that come from the engine as it wears. Burning the used oil releases these pollutants into the air. So, unless you could find a way to remove the contaminants from the oil, it would be unhealthy and possibly illegal to burn it in an engine.

What would cause an engine to burn too much oil?
Several things can cause an engine to burn oil, and all of them are pretty normal in an engine with lots of miles. Oil control rings are often a problem. They are on the piston and while they can be replaced, you'd be better off buying a new engine. Other things that can cause an engine to burn oil are valve seals (common) and valve guides (uncommon). If you have a high mileage engine, I wouldn't worry unless you have a big cloud of black smoke coming out the exhaust. Best thing you can do is just check the oil often.
