It needs a flint and lighter fluid. Zippo does not ship with either item, they must be purchased separately. Check at the tobbacco counter for these items.
The flint is a small cylindrical style object which rests under the wheel, this can be put in by pulling the silver part of the zippo out of the case it comes in, unscrewing the golden screw, dropping the flint into the hole and then putting the screw back in. It is a good idea not to tighten the screw all the way, so that it can be unscrewed by hand if the zippo ever gets jammed.
To refule the lighter, first of all you need some fluid! Then lift the arm which sits on the opposite side of the lighter to the wheel, into a vertical position.Then you take the inside part of the lighter out again, and then turn it upside down so that you can see the foam. If you are using lighter fluid with a squeezy nozle, you can poke the end of the can into the hole, and squeeze in short bursts of around one second, with two second gaps. If you are not using a squeezy can with a pointed nozle, you need to pinch the foam, and lift it up towards the golden screw head, then pour the fluid in slowly until you see it rise up above the foam.
In both cases of refulling, you need to stop as soon as you see the utmost layer of foam become damp or wet, overfilling will cause leaks or for fluid to drip out the wick if you hold it upside down. Doing this means you risk setting the excess fluid on fire and badly hurting yourself if there is any on the case of the lighter or your hands. Zippo strongly recommend that you wash your hands thoroughly, and wipe your zippo before you ignite the lighter.

Lighter has new wick but very hard to light?
before you put the wick in you need to get a little bowl of zippo fluid. Soak the wick in it for 5 minuets then allow it to dry then insert it into the zippo and then add zippo fluid to the lighter and set upsdie down for 5min then flip over and dry off top and use zippo. That simple. Your Friend David davidbtamplen@yahoo.com

How do you fix a lighter?
Fix a lighter? That is pretty vague! Get fluid into it... adjust the wick, put a new flint into the mechanism, or see if the cotton is bad. If it is a butane you should buy a new one, if it is a zippo then I can help but I need more info on the prob!
How do you replace the packing material in your Zippo if it gets lost?
Standard cotton balls. 5 for full sized, 4 for slim. Alternately you can keep an eye on eBay, I've seen Zippo branded packaging material on there OR send the lighter back to Zippo, they'll fix it up and return it to you with both your old and a new insert complete with new wick, flint, and packing.
Where do you send a zippo lighter to be repaired?
If you are really in love with your zippo you are most likely only in love with the outer case, seeing as how the insides are the same. A new Zippo will cost you roughly $15 (median) and you can just take the guts from the new one and insert them into your old case. In summary, sending in your Zippo is a waste of time.

The Fluid goes inside. Pull out the insert and move aside the stiff layer of padding, underneath that is cotton and you soak that with Liquid lighter fluid.
