Yes you can and what are the pumps at the station running on? The grid.
You have the option to drive to the working gas station and buy diesel. In a hurricane type scenario (been there a few times) the LP delivery trucks will be overwhelmed and it could be days, or weeks, before you can get yours.

I get that, but that wasn't your original comment that a LP powered home generator was grid dependent where a diesel powered one wasn't. They both are to some degree. It is arguable that a natural gas powered home generator would be the least grid (or delivery) dependent in your new scenario, but they all are at some level.
