It is possible to buy fuel in Torres del Paine, if you are willing to pay a fortune and they have some spare!
You will find it at the big hotel in the park. Ask nicely in reception and they will get the petrol guy to unlock the pump for you.
I guess they use it for all the park vehicles that transport all those hikers around!
As for our fuel range; 500km on a good day with no wind! That was plenty for everywhere except Ruta 40 and the Salar de Uyuni. We used the coke bottles there. One tip - the bottles are reasonably fuel proof, the lids are not. put a couple of layers of plastic bags over the opening, then close tightly for leak free containers.
Sian..
