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.
In normal disposable lighters like bic it is butane gas, in Zippo lighters you can use most liquid that lights with a spark, but most people just use zippo brand naptha fuel.
I usually refill mine about twice a week. This also depends on how big the Zippo is and how often it's used.
If your Zippo is sparking but not burning, it could be due to inadequate fuel, clogged wick, or a faulty flint. Try refilling the lighter with quality fuel, adjusting the wick to ensure it's not too low or too high, and replacing the flint if necessary. If the issue persists, consider contacting Zippo customer service for further assistance.
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 :)

Your question is a bit ambiguous. I would say first, add fluid, make sure the fluid has soaked into the cotton, and keep the lid shut for a min before lighting. If that does not work then I would suggest moving the wick to the flint, this can be done by using a key and pushing the cotton-metal wick towards the spark end of the zippo. Suppose that does not work... you can always purchase zippo parts from a cigar shop and they will be more than willing to help you if you buy a pack of smokes from them! Last case buy a cheap zippo and put the center pice into yours... it will work fine and you will have your zippo art with a genuine zippo center! Remember if you have a problem with your official zippo, then they all have a lifetime guarantee, so you can always send it back to your regional zippo centre.

It should be fine if you take the insides out and let them dry properly. This might take a couple of days. Refill the lighter, replace the flint, and spark it up. If you can't make it light, you can always send it back to Zippo and they will make repairs to the mechanism.
Zippo lighter are a reusable metal lighter made by the Zippo Company of Bradford, Pennsylvania. The main point of Zippo lighters are that they are impossible to blow out.
Who cares? Ronsonal works just as well in a Zippo lighter as Zippo fuel does.
Yes, I would do research on the zippo first, the value of a zippo only goes up.
The Zippo company has been in business since 1932 when George Blaisdell founded Zippo Manufacturing Company. In 1933 the first Zippo lighter was made.
