How do you fuel a zippo lighter?

First, open the lid.

Grab the wind guard (the silver bit with the holes which the flame sits inside) and pull. It may be a bit stiff, but when you pull hard enough, the lighter insert should come out of the casing.

Turn it upside down and gently pull up the thick felt-like fabric at the bottom. You needn't remove the screw, just pull up the end of the fabric opposite it.

Squirt a generous measure of lighter fluid into the space inside, onto the white gauze (cotton wool-looking stuff) inside. Don't completely fill the cavity; just put in enough fluid to soak the gauze through.

Close the felt-like flap, and, still holding the insert upside down to avoid spillages, place it back in the casing, ensuring the flint-wheel faces the correct direction.

Ensure you use liquid lighter fuel, not aerosol fluid - aerosol fluid will not work!

Have fun and don't burn trees. Not cool.

Can you take lighter fluid from one lighter and put it in a zippo?

im not sure if you mean taking the fluid from a regular lighter and putting that into a zippo or just simply zippo to zippo but I'll answer both. I wouldn't recomend putting normal butane lighter fluid into a zippo because it runs out really fast and makes the flame far too big to be practical. if you want to change fuel from one zippo to another simply remove the insert, peel back the first felt layer, take out the cotton from inside and putting that cotton into the other zippo. hope that helped :)
