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.

What do you do if your lighter goes through the wash and dryer?

If your dryer didn't explode, try lighting your lighter. If your lighter lights, then you have nothing to worry about. If it doesn't go buy a new lighter.


How do you replace the flint of the zippo lighter?

If the lighter is damaged not through abuse, it can be sent back to Zippo to be repaired free of charge. You do have to pay shipping charges. OR it depends on how its broke. you can replace the flint which is sold in most wallmarts or gas stations or you can replace the wick which you can usally find at the places i listed above.


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.


Can you use petrol to fill your zippo lighter?

When my dad was in the Navy, his friends used to use jet-fighter fuel to refill their Zippos, so I don't see why regular petrol should be any different. Just be very careful if you use petrol - do it outdoors, wipe the lighter after filling and wash your hands before lighting, as petrol is extremely volatile!

Why won't a new Zippo lighter work?

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.
