Even if a PC is left right out of the action, back at camp for instance. I'd have him try and distil some fuel.
Roll D20 and if the result would have been a success on a difficult task, he made 150% of the target amount.
If the roll was a fail at an easy task then no fuel was made and equipment might have been damaged.
Anything in between is 90% of the target amount of fuel is made.
Little odd jobs like this keep everyone involved, the small wins or looses really accumulate over time, involve non-combat tasks, and improve PC skill levels.
