Lighter Fluid is a small metal can of fuel for refillable lighters. It keeps a metal Lighter working long after the first fill runs out.
It matters to any survivor who carries a refillable Lighter. One can holds about twenty uses of fluid. Together they make a fire starter that lasts the whole game.
It is most common in camping stores. Gas stations and corner stores stock it now and then.
Using
Refill Lighter tops up a Lighter from the can. Only refillable lighters take it, and the metal Lighter is the one that does.
The metal Lighter gives about thirty-two uses per fill. That makes each can worth many fires and candles. A survivor with a Lighter and a few cans has fire covered for a long time.
Upkeep
The can holds about twenty uses of fluid. Each refill draws on it until it is empty.
Used in Crafting
These recipes accept the Lighter Fluid by its type rather than by name.

Locations
Camping stores are the best place to look, on shelves and in storage about one time in eight. Gas stations, convenience stores, corner stores and general stores give a small chance. Outdoor supply stores are similar. Survivor safehouses, liquor store counters and living rooms turn one up only rarely.
