It depends on what temperature it is at, and how well sealed the container. The higher the temperature, and the more the container is open to outside air, the fast it will evaporate. Exactly how long it will take is very difficult to determine however!

How do lighters work?

When you pull your finger/nail down on the wheel, it creates a spark, and then you push the button, which makes lighter fluid come up and the sparks light the gas. The reason the fire keeps going is because as long as you hold the button down it keeps releasing fluid into the fire. If you were to break the release on the fluid, then it would keep going, making a fire that doesn't burn out until you run out of fuel. This is what happens in a BUTANE lighter, another type of lighter is a NAPHTHA lighter.


How long does it take to burn off lighter fluid?

Burning lighter fluid typically involves combustion, which produces heat and light rather than a process that can be "burned off" like a fuel in the body. If you're asking about the time it takes for lighter fluid to dissipate or evaporate after use, it can vary based on environmental conditions such as temperature and airflow, but it generally takes a few minutes to hours. For safety, it's important to ensure that any residual lighter fluid is fully evaporated before handling or storing items used with it. Always follow safety guidelines when using flammable substances.


What are harmful or long term affects of naphtha?

Does lighter fluid go bad over time?

Yes, lighter fluid can go bad over time due to evaporation and exposure to air, which can affect its effectiveness in lighting fires or charcoal. It is recommended to store lighter fluid in a cool, dry place and replace it if it has been stored for a long period of time.


Will lighter fluid on a floor start a fire if you smoke?

Only if you are smoking at the time. Lighter fluid has a high evaporation rate, so it doesn't take long to for it to disappear off the floor. It is NOT permanent in the flooring. Of course, do be careful for a couple of hours because it is highly flammable...as we know!

What is a good substitute for Zippo lighter fluid in a Zippo lighter?

For the man that keeps deleting my answer.. this guy is wondering whats a good household substitute he can use.. HOUSEHOLD.. Rubbing Alcohol works nicely.. cool blue flame too. : You can use any fuel based liquid as long as the flash point is lower than the Naptha liquid used in Zippo and Ronson lighter fluids. : Using higher flash point fuel is dangerous because the metal chimney (one with holes) gets hot, and the heat disipates into the fuel chamber agitating the evaporation of the volatile liquid. : However, lower flash point fuels can and will create sooth and deposits in the Zippo system, which means higher costs on wick replacements, chimney cleaning, dirty flints, using more flint strikes, etc, as it was never designed to use these other types of fuels. : In the end, it would cost more to maintain the lighter in top condition. : In case of emergencies, such as camping and military use, Kerosene would be the next best. Never use jet fuel such as Jet K, because they contain additives for jet turbines that would produce toxic fumes on a Zippo.
