Abstract

A fluid receptacle may include an outer wall defining a periphery of the fluid receptacle, and an inner wall. The inner wall may be connected to the outer wall at certain locations and spaced from the outer wall at other locations providing gaps between the outer wall and the inner wall. In some implementations, the inner wall may be complete or continuous and liquid fuel may be contained within the inner wall. In other implementations, liquid fuel may be received between the inner and outer walls.
