I just picked up a couple of peanut type lighters as emergency fire starters and I was trying to decide on the the best fuel to use? What would be the best (longest lasting) fuel to use, normal lighter fluid or some sort of lamp oil. These lighters will almost never be used, just something to have as an alternate fire starter.

Thanks for your input.
 
Lamp oil burns forever, but you will probably have a lot of trouble getting it lit with the lighter's striker. You would have to use another flame source, kind of negating the whole purpose of the lighter. Regular lighter fluid works just fine.
 
Hey, he said he has a couple of them, right? He could load one with regular lighter fluid and us it to light the one filled with lamp oil! :D
