If there is enough airflow the furnace should be able to run indefinitely. As far as a pedal powered fan, your gas furnace (unless it is fairly old) probably has an electric exhaust fan and an electric igniter. The controls (gas valve, etc) are also electric. Running it off of a generator shouldn't be a problem, but just using your own fan wouldn't work out that well...
