How many Watts will a portable diesel generator have to produce to run a Lincoln Tig 275 Welder at full power?
Your welder needs 20A at 120V for full output. This is 2400W, but you should always add a little extra margin, so I would recommend a 3600W generator.

Will a 800 watt generator have enough power to operate a 90 amp welder?
No, unless you can set it low and can be assured that it wont use more than say 4000watts, the welder might momentarily use more power than what you set it to, it should not wreck the welder i would imagine unless it is a fancy mig welder or something, set the welder low you should be fine but for high end use she should be firing out 8 or 9kw so keep it low if you must.
Will AC power tools run on a DC generator?
If the power tool has brushes to bring the current to the armature it is classed as an universal motor. It will run on DC as long as the voltage is the same potential. On a welding machine the 120 volt receptacle is a DC output and the grinders, drills, etc that are plugged into it work fine.
Is an generator an example of a fuel?
