Luckily mine has a sensor and won't run without oil.
My neighbor's generator's gas tank is like a square donut and the spark-plug
is accessible through the hole, my generator's spark-plug is offset at an
angle through the side. Seems a little stupid having the spark-plug right
next to the gas fill cap.
I told my neighbor that most generator related injuries come from adding gas
to a hot generator and he should be careful.
Every year people blow themselves up adding gas to a running generator.
My neighbors generator looks like they designed it to get someone hurt.

It's funny I got the generator through some
horse-trading from a buddy
a few years ago. It was a millennium generator (when everyone thought
everything would turn off in 2000). It had never even had oil put
into it before I got it.
My wife works at Menards in the hardware dept. Believe me, some people
don't let the lack of oil in a gas engine stop them from using it. For
a short while, anyway. Then they bring it back to the store. ;(
