How is refueling less convenient?
Gasoline: Retrieve gas can. Remove cap from gas can. Turn over spout, which is likely soaked in gasoline, so it gets on your hands. Reinstall cap. Remove cap from generator fuel tank. Insert spout from gas can. Fiddle-phart around to get the %$#@ safefy nozzle to release, all the while, gas is drip-drip-dripping from the neck of the gas can because the %$#@ safety spout doesn't seal. Finally get the %$#@ safety spout to release fuel into the generator tank. Overfill the generator tank because the %$#@ safety spout didn't seal when you released it, spilling gas all over the generator. Replace generator cap. Flip the %$#@ safety spout back over, because hey, you've already got gas all over your hands. Try to mop up the mess. Wait for the spilled gas left on the generator to evaporate.
Propane: Retrieve fresh propane tank. Disconnect hose from empty tank. Connect hose to full tank. Open valve on full tank. Start generator.
