Keepsake Zippo pipe liter which has a piece of flint stuck midway in the flint tube how can you remove it?
Send it back to Zippo and they'll repair it free. More info at zippo.com.
What if your zippo doen't want to strike has new flint plus fluid?
If the Zippo won't strike, it probably has an old flint stuck in the flint tube. You can take a small nail and tap it gently until it comes in contact with the striker wheel.
Why will your zippo spark but no burn?
Your Zippo may need fuel or a wick replacement .
How do you get a Zippo to spark?
If you have not tried spinning the wheel on the Zippo try that. I know that seems obvious but someone might not know that. Or if you have tried that and it does not work then you need a flint for your Zippo. These are usually sold separately from the Zippo. Once you have the Zippo flint you can place it into the lighter by removing the Zippo from the case by grasping the chimney (the thing with holes in it once you open the lighter) and the case and pulling them in opposite directions. Once the two pieces are separate, you look at the lighter's bottom, there should be a screw and some soft cloth. Unscrew the screw to replace the flint. after removing the screw and the spring, drop a flint in the hole while holding the lighter upside down, place the spring in the hole, then screw the screw back in.
What are the components of a zippo?
There are not alot of parts on a zippo lighter which is why it is such a reliable lighter. the main components are the flint, chimeny, flint wheel, case, case insert, cotton balls, wick, cam (that's what makes the famous zippo cling), and felt pad. there are other littlle components such as pins and the hinge on the case as well. you can replace all of the following parts yourself: the wick and flint. if you have any other problems you can send your zippo to the zippo factory in pennsillvaina and they will either fix it or replace it free of charge. hope I helped
Can you use hand sanitizer as fluid in a zippo?

How do you take a zippo flint wheel out?
take 2 pliers and pull back the thing attached to the wheel but why would you?
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 :)
Can you use hydrogen peroxide as a substitute for fluid in a zippo lighter?
No you can't. H2O2 is not flammable, it is an oxidizer.

How do you move a wick up on a Zippo?
Remove the zippo from the case and unscrew the spring for the flint hole. set the spring inside the zippo case along with the flint and the grab tweezers and remove the cotton filling. this will allow for a smoother pull later.grab your tweezers and pull the wick carefully to the brim on the where it lights then snip at an angle off the carbon piece. once that's done put the cotton in the opposite way we pulled it so the last piece you pulled goes in first and so on. add the last cotton piece then put the flint back in and add the flint spring back in. now you put it back inthe case and give it a light!
How often do you have to replace the flint in a Zippo?
I usually refill mine about twice a week. This also depends on how big the Zippo is and how often it's used.
