I have never actually seen a LP fuel pump that did not run on electricity. So if the gas station does not have power, it will not be pumping propane either. You can 'draft' propane into a empty tank, as the empty one is 0 PSI, and the storage tank is say 140 PSI, but soon after adding some propane, both tanks will become the same pressure, and you might only get 1 gallon into a 5 gallon tank.
Stupid me for posting that propane would be more readily available during a general power outage. I should have checked with someone from California about availability here in MD. lol
Oh wait, as I said, propane is readily available in this area when the gas stations have no power. Now don't go to a gas station that peddles propane if it has no power. lol There are numerous propane sources available that always have backup power... I generally use a Rental Center. One that, are you ready, rents gasoline powered generators and sells propane - they like to be open when people want to buy or rent generators or propane during a power outage. I have never, not once, had to stand in line to buy propane during an outage.
Propane arguably is safer to store, doesn't go "stale", doesn't gum up the carburetor, a 20# tank lasts the equivalent of 4-5 gallons of gasoline and costs close to the same. And, I say again, it is readily available in the greater Washington, DC, area.
Of course, YMMV. :C
