I bought mine at the local hardware store as denatured alcohol, and it was a plastic quart bottle, much like a quart of oil. I believe you can get it at the big box stores too (Walmart, Target), and even some grocery stores that have a 'hardware' aisle. I believe I paid $7 USD. It is non-corrosive, so any bottle will do, provided it is marked as staehp1 said. I would bet, however, that if you find a place that sells a good fuel bottle, they will sell fuel too, so that will at least get you started on your way.
