Many small generators are easily switched to propane. You can buy a kit to do it. Propane is much more stable long term, doesn't go bad and gum up parts, and you can also use it in a BBQ or other stove. Great emergency fuel and worth the cost if a conversion kit ..I recall mine was fairly inexpensive. I have a Honda generator.

And very easy to source smaller tanks in an emergency!

I bought a duel fuel generator and only ever run propane through it. I had stockpiled about seven 30 pound tanks just in case. Then we got hit with the Fiona hurricane and my house was without power for 12 days. My tanks lasted the entire time.
I'd go into town and see long lines of people at the gas stations waiting to fill cans with gas for their generators. Places selling propane - no lines.
If you can run a generator off propane, it's the way to go.
