Flamer Fuel (Fallout: New Vegas)

Flamer fuel is a type of ammunition in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A mixture of petro-chemicals and other flammable compounds for use in specialty flamethrowers.

Flamer fuel, homemade
Homemade flamer fuel is made from corn based ingredients to produce an ethanol mixture combined with the flammable properties of detergent to create a deadly fuel mixture. The homemade fuel mixture can quickly degrade the flamer due to the crude nature of the fuel. Every recipe yields 20 units of fuel (a Science skill of 50 is needed to produce the fuel):
 * 1 Box of detergent
 * 2 maize
 * 1 Sugar Bomb

Flamer fuel, optimized
Added in Gun Runners' Arsenal, this sub-type causes 30% more damage, penetrates armor more effectively, and weighs less than the standard flamer fuel. The only drawback is a slight increase in weapon degradation. It requires Vigilant Recycler and can only be crafted at a workbench.

Weapons using this ammunition

 * Flamer
 * Incinerator
 * Heavy incinerator
 * Flare gun

Behind the scenes

 * Detergents are oftentimes used as fuel additives. Typical detergents are long chain amines and amides such as polyisobuteneamine and polyisobuteneamide/succinimide.
