What is need to burn fuel?

To burn a fuel, the other two things needed are oxygen and heat. Heat could come from a flame to start the fire (once the fire is started it continues to produce enough heat unless it runs out of fuel or oxygen, or is put out), or it could come from a spark.


What explodes with oxygen and ignited?

Nothing can make oxygen explode! A faulty oxygen cylinder can explode, but that's not the fault of oxygen, any gas under pressure would cause a faulty cylinder to explode, but that happens without a spark or match! Oxygen is the stuff that supports combustion, that is, makes other things burn. And if it makes something burn really really quickly, that will look like an explosion. So if you mix oxygen and hydrogen together and add a spark there is an almighty bang - the hydrogen exploded! So if you smoke a cigarette in pure oxygen, the cigarette will have a very large flame - the cigarette will appear to explode! If you generate a spark in pure oxygen ALONE, you may detect a 'bleach' like smell which is ozone (oxygen is O2, ozone is O3). But there is no explosion! If the spark is a piece of hot metal (like off an emery wheel), the sparks will be brighter and 'die' quicker, but .... sorry .... no explosions! Summary and bottom line - oxygen does not burn, things put in oxygen burn. Oxygen does not explode, faulty oxygen bottles will explode.

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 :)
