I have used the gel from a can of Sterno. Just smear blobs intermittently on your pile of coals and light. It seems to burn cleaner and is not as "explosive" as lighter fluid.
Absolutely not, you should only use Zippo Lighter fluid. If you're in a pinch, Ronson lighter fluid works too.
lihter fluid is safe to drink but you would urinate and it would burn don't drink it at all
Lighter Fluid
Yes , as is Zippo lighter fluid .
I do not believe so. The reason why you can only use lighter fluid is because it does not burn very hot. There may be a substitute, but I do not know of any.
When you pull your finger/nail down on the wheel, it creates a spark, and then you push the button, which makes lighter fluid come up and the sparks light the gas. The reason the fire keeps going is because as long as you hold the button down it keeps releasing fluid into the fire. If you were to break the release on the fluid, then it would keep going, making a fire that doesn't burn out until you run out of fuel. This is what happens in a BUTANE lighter, another type of lighter is a NAPHTHA lighter.
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.
with a lighter. with a lighter. with a flame
any lighter fluid, except for bic lighter fluid
Slide the lighter body out of the lighter case, by pulling on the wick cage. With the lighter body upside down squirt lighter fluid into the fiber packing in the lighter until saturated. Reassemble the lighter body into the lighter case. Let excess lighter fluid evaporate before using the lighter.
This is dangerous and will damage the lighter. Lighter fluid is made of naptha, the traditional dry cleaning fluid. It is highly flammable, but is not a gasoline product. The two are made by different processes. Fill your lighter with the reccommended product to prolong the life of the lighter.
