Abstract
A generator embodying the invention comprises a removable fuel tank that is easily accessible, and may be easily removed from the generator. The generator includes a frame that supports an engine and the fuel tank. The fuel tank is removably interconnected to the frame with at least one quick release fastener. The quick release fastener may include a bolt, a pivoting tab, a clamp, or other similar quick release fasteners. Preferably, the quick release fastener may be engaged by hand, and does not require additional tooling. A fuel line between the fuel tank and the engine includes a quick disconnect attachment that prevents fuel flow and easily detaches the fuel tank from the engine. The fuel tank may be removed from the frame, taken to a gasoline station for refilling, and reattached to the generator for operation.
