Ronsonol lighter fluid (another fuel for zippos) is actually just pure naphtha. If you've ever heard of naphtha paint thinner it is actually the same exact thing..
To the original poster, your answer is incomplete. Here is MSDS statistics about Zippo fluid. 100% VM & P Naphtha VM&P=Varnish Makers and Painters Essentially it is Paint Stripper
Firelighters are made of various materials. Zip firelighters are made with compressed wood fibers and wax. Some homemade firelighters are made with sawdust, egg cartons, and wax.
It depends on personal preference and what you prioritize in a lighter. The standard Zippo insert uses lighter fluid and offers the classic Zippo flame, along with the distinctive smell and sound. On the other hand, a butane Thunderbird insert provides a more efficient and adjustable flame, along with the convenience of refillable butane. Ultimately, it comes down to what features and qualities you value in a lighter.
u can pull it out until u see where its white amd cut the black part off
Your Zippo may need fuel or a wick replacement .
Zippo style lighter fluid is essentially naptha.
Naptha .
Yes , as is Zippo lighter fluid .
Zippo lighter fluid. But any good naptha based fluid will work well.
Use can use any naptha lighter fluid in a Zippo. This may not be what you would identify as "normal," however; the more modern Bic lighter and many others use butane. Butane absolutely won't work in a Zippo. I'm not sure what would happen, but it could be anywhere from not working at all to a fiery explosion.
Naptha .
Yes you can, but for some odd reason, Charcoal Starter dries and goes ALOT faster than Zippo fuel, but yes, Charcoal Starter works just as well, and Naphthaline is a Main Ingredient of Zippo Mixture, they sell Naptha just for this sort of thing.
Butane lighters burn hotter but use up fuel fast compared to regular lighter fluid lighters which do not burn as hot but do not use up fuel as fast.**The answer is found in chemistry. Butane is a specific chemical, ie. C4H10; an alkane with four carbons and ten hydrogens. Lighter fluid is not so specific in its contents - it is generally defined as a highly combustible (thus high octane) hydrocarbon; Naptha.
Absolutely not, you should only use Zippo Lighter fluid. If you're in a pinch, Ronson lighter fluid works too.
Who cares? Ronsonal works just as well in a Zippo lighter as Zippo fuel does.
I would try Naptha (zippo lighter fluid) or Acetone. Neither should harm the polyester, but will eat through the goo.
Yes, and many newsagents sell the official Zippo lighter fluid, as well as other brands (Swan etc). yes pretty much. You can also use Ronsonol lighter fluid.
