Can a requested card be used for a survivor ability or item, such as Edward White or the Lighter?
The designer's later ruling reversed his earlier no; a few players still repeat the older answer.

Yes. Request counts as a nested action: the requested card is played immediately, either on its own or toward an ability that needs it, so requested Fuel can power a move, the Lighter, or Edward White. In August 2014 the designer first said no (only waste-pile, event or equip uses), then revised this in September 2014 to yes, so the older answer no longer applies. The published FAQ v1.1 states the same final rule.
