IMHO propane is the most trouble/hassle to fill of all the fuels we use: for some reason I have no problem with taking a 5 gallon plastic gasoline can to be filled, but I feel like doing the same with a propane tank is being a real PITA. Stopping at a gas pump and squirting a few gallons into a can without having to go inside and find an employee to fire up the propane dispenser seems a whole lot simpler.....
Your kidding right?
Nope. My plastic gas can sits flat and does not roll around the truck like propane tanks, does not scratch what I set it on and does not have to be unstrapped and lifted out of a fitted base in a compartment that's just a bit too tall and too narrow to manage comfortably. It also weighs so much less than a propane tank when empty that my wife is even willing to carry it out to the truck for me if my hands are full......sometimes. If I need a refill I just swipe my card a second time at the pump when I'm filling the diesel truck, fill them both at once, set the filled plastic can in the bed of the truck and we are on our way.
I think I was thinking more along the lines of leveraging the 3 tanks already on the trailer and the BBQ quick connect. Also remember it is still TRI mode if you chose to use gas. I guess it all depends on how often you are using that generator and all the gas in the jerry can.
