One thing to keep in mind: Just because something is stored in a plastic bottle doesn't mean it's safe to all plastics. Lighter fluid and gas will soften/break down certain plastics and not other's. You have to make sure the type of plastic your little bottle is made of is the same stuff the lighter fluid bottle is made of, or an equivelent. I've put lighter fluid in little bottles only to have it eat through a few days/weeks later.
