Entity type generator can be set up to burn fluid fuels (burns_fluid = true) and only burn whatever is required to reach maximum energy output (scale_fluid_usage = true) rather than basing energy output on temperature.
Fluids with an emissions_multiplier, however, don't seem to affect the outgoing emissions of the generator. I have not been able to verify whether it's just the tooltip that is wrong or whether the entity is polluting at its default rate regardless.
Compare this to any other burner entity which is burning a solid fuel with an emissions multiplier:
Edited to add: non-generator entities with a fluid energy source also respect the emissions multiplier correctly, it seems to be only generators that don't.

Thanks for the report, only the tooltip is wrong. Fluid emissions_multiplier is applied in all configurations and is not restricted to burns_fluid=true and scale_fluid_usage=true. The tooltip is now fixed for the next release.
