Zippo style lighter fluid is essentially naptha.

Send it back to Zippo and they'll repair it free. More info at zippo.com.
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 :)
What do you do if you overfill your Zippo?
Relax. The lighter fluid that accidentally spilled over the side can be wiped off. The rest will evaporate in a few minutes. When you replace the lighter in the case, allow a couple of seconds for the fluid to evaporate off the flint and the wick. Then try to strike it. If the flint does not spark, wait a few seconds more. The lighter fluid is not dangerous unless it is near a heat source. Wash your hands and then try to light the lighter again. It is fine if you overfill; the lighter won't work until the excess has evaporated.
What is the best fuel for a Zippo?
Zippo lighter fluid. But any good naptha based fluid will work well.
Can you use zippo lighter fluid for charcoal fluid?
Absolutely not, you should only use Zippo Lighter fluid. If you're in a pinch, Ronson lighter fluid works too.
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
How do you spot a fake zippo lighter fluid?
Who cares? Ronsonal works just as well in a Zippo lighter as Zippo fuel does.
