What size generator do you need to run a well pump and a refrigerator-freezer?

Depends on the refrigerator. There should be a sticker on the inside of the fridge that lists the power requirements. Make sure the generator rating is RMS and not peak. You can use a generator wattage calculator to estimate the total wattage you would need to power your "must have" appliances during a power outage. This way you can estimate the generator size (in watts) you would need to power them.

Does any manufacturer produce a backup generator that can run on gasoline or ethanol or methanol?

Yes, generators are manufactured that can run on these products. The overlying factor is how large a KVA generator is needed for backup. If a large size generator is needed, the gasoline engine driving the generator may not have enough horsepower to do the job when compared to a diesel engine. Larger gasoline engines consume much more fuel per HP than do diesel engines, if cost is a factor in the equation as to what engine should be used to drive the generator.

Is a 2.8 kilowatt generator big enough to run a house as a standby?

No, a 2800 watt generator is not large enough to run a home as stand by power. For a generator ot produce 100 amps a 25,000 watt or 25 kW generator would be needed. Since a house uses about 50 to 60 amp at any one moment during normal everyday living, a 60A x 240V = 14,000 watts. A 15 kW generator would be the minimum size generator to run a house without cutting back on any loads.
