== == Not recommended, as it is kerosene based, and the flash point is too low, and this would make lighting difficult. The regular liquid fluid is 100% Naptha, which can be purchased at hardware stores in pint sized cans, not little 4 oz cans. Another, less expensive option, is to use Coleman camp/stove fuel. It comes in a red/silver steel gallon container and sold in all the big box stores. For fueling a Zippo, a gallon of Coleman fuel will literately last a lifetime. I paid $2.59 for the gallon can that I refill my little 4 oz can from and its still over 1/2 way full. In May of 2008 a gallon probably costs $6. ***************************************************************************
This is not recommended! Charcoal fluid is not designed to be used in a cigarette lighter. Since it is designed to be used with a match and charcoal, it does not work well with a Zippo. The flint can be damaged by this procedure as well as harming the entire case. Another hazard is that this use can cause chemical burns to the skin.
Absolutely not, you should only use Zippo Lighter fluid. If you're in a pinch, Ronson lighter fluid works too.
It's not recommended to use Zippo lighter fluid to start a barbecue grill. While it is a flammable substance, it is designed for use with Zippo lighters and may contain additives that could impart undesirable flavors to your food. Instead, use proper grilling starters like charcoal lighter fluid or natural fire starters that are specifically made for grills to ensure safety and enhance flavor.
Yes you can, but for some odd reason, Charcoal Starter dries and goes ALOT faster than Zippo fuel, but yes, Charcoal Starter works just as well, and Naphthaline is a Main Ingredient of Zippo Mixture, they sell Naptha just for this sort of thing.
Yes, and many newsagents sell the official Zippo lighter fluid, as well as other brands (Swan etc). yes pretty much. You can also use Ronsonol lighter fluid.
any lighter fluid, except for bic lighter fluid
Use can use any naptha lighter fluid in a Zippo. This may not be what you would identify as "normal," however; the more modern Bic lighter and many others use butane. Butane absolutely won't work in a Zippo. I'm not sure what would happen, but it could be anywhere from not working at all to a fiery explosion.
To properly refill a Zippo lighter with Zippo lighter fluid, follow these steps: Remove the lighter from its case and open the lid. Hold the lighter upside down and remove the insert from the case. Slowly pour the Zippo lighter fluid into the cotton batting inside the insert, being careful not to overfill. Allow the fluid to soak into the cotton for a few minutes. Reinsert the insert back into the case and close the lid. Wipe off any excess fluid and let the lighter sit for a few minutes before using it.
No would use normal fluid
Es ronsons is zippo brand to so yes it works great
Yes, Zippo lighter fluid can expire over time, typically within 2-3 years if stored properly in a cool, dry place. Expired lighter fluid may not work as effectively or could potentially be unsafe to use.
To the original poster, your answer is incomplete. Here is MSDS statistics about Zippo fluid. 100% VM & P Naphtha VM&P=Varnish Makers and Painters Essentially it is Paint Stripper
No you can't. H2O2 is not flammable, it is an oxidizer.
