Basically, don't worry about it. Stove fuel seems to be available at most
towns along the trail. Often times, some hiker would buy a gallon and
just leave it for anyone who followed. I only had to use gasoline twice.
In fact if I were to do the trail again, I'd bring a 11oz. fuel bottle
instead of the 22oz. bottle that I carried.
