Too make it sufficiently exoticand interesting, why not try for a
catalyzed reaction of something (H or He?) to strange matter? Catalyst
could be a stable transuran element, that is very scarce and only found
in interesting locations in mineable quantities.

What interesting locations would those be?

Also, you're suggesting manufactured fuel, which makes "wilderness refuelling"
impossible.

If you want wilderness refuelling to be possible, you want common fuel.
Not something too exotic.
