Cigarette Lighters

No. The air in a dryer is around 90-170 degrees not hot enough to ignite a lighter. The Myth Busters actually did an episode about this where they ran a lighter through a dryer for an extended period of time. They also put a lighter in a toaster oven to find out what temperature it would explode at, it did not happen until it reached 350 degrees.

A lighter typically contains a flammable liquid fuel such as butane or naphtha, which is used to create a flame when the lighter is ignited. The fuel is stored under pressure inside the lighter's reservoir.

Most modern lighters use butane. It is liquid under pressure but vaporizes when released. Butane lighters have no wick and make a slight hissing sound when in use. Lighters with a wick use a liquid fuel that is naphtha-based.

To fix the wick in a Zippo lighter, you will need to first empty the fuel from the lighter. Then, use a small pair of tweezers to pull the old wick out from the bottom, trim it using scissors, and insert a new one. Be sure to adjust the wick to the desired length before refueling the lighter.

Yes, charcoal lighter fluid is a hexane. Charcoal fluid is highly flammable and it is a hydrocarbon mixture used in wick type lighters.

if you really need a flame you can fill up your zippo with anything that will burn. this includes gassoline, alachol, and even alacholic beverages such as wiskey or moonshine. but be warned: filling up your zippo with these alternative fules can be very dangerous because they might explode. if you had to refill a zippo with an alternitive fuel you are better going off with an alachol based fuel rather than a gasoline type fuel. alachol burns cleaner and is alot less likely to blow up in your face. if you do not need a to light your zippo because of an emergency or something i suggest you just fill it up with lighter fluid as it was ment to be filled with. plus if you fill it up with anything becides lighter fluid you void the lifetime guarantee. it is just not worth it. hope I could help

** I belive the same can be said for kerosene. Be careful with gasoline if you over fill a zippo with it enough might atomize to cause a small explosion kind of like when you over fill it with lighter fluid it will burn in places besides on the wick.

**rubbing alachol is mostly safe thats what i filled up with mine

I would suggest first looking on the inside of the fuse box(s) cover, where it should show the location/purpose of each fuse. If not, reference the vehicles manual for the fuse that corelates to the lighter.

Watch the bidding. It should give you a good idea. I have one too.

This is the thickness of the gold plating on the lighter. 20u would be 20 microns

Under 1 ounce, one stamp - 41 cent stamp currently (April, 2008) The distance traveled does not matter, it is the weight and size of the envelope. Guidelines can be found at www.usps.com. If it is a "normal" letter, it's just regular postage: $.41.

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 :)

No, vodka (at 40% alcohol) has too much water in it. Everclear (75%) may work and everclear @ 95% will work the best. It still won't light as easily as zippo fluid but it'll work; if not, let your zippo dry out and you'll be all set to try something else.

There are many brands of cigarette lighters, I'd say the cheapest, and most popular, is BIC.

i just saw one like that on eBay, that sold for 65.00 it was made during WWll, I too have just acquired one and searching for worth, so far that is the highest i have seen

No. Bic lighters -- and most other throwaway lighters -- use butane gas, which liquefies under modest pressure. When struck, the pressure tank is opened and the butane vaporizes and travels through a small orifice, or jet, to the spark wheel. Zippos, of course, use a naphtha-based liquid lighter fluid and a woven textile wick, which conducts the fluid to the spark wheel.

A bic is another term for a ballpoint pen or a Biro.

They would probably interrogate you but the worst thing they would/could do is just take it.

No, it will brutally explode in your face. And you will die.

All you need is a hot wire. Many auto parts stores sell them complete with bracket. All you need is a place for it. Use ignition (keyed) source so is only on when bike is for safety. Then just tap the wire.

I am replacing the factory radio in a '97 SR5 4runner, the lighter does NOT come off like a Normal lighter. Usually, they just twist/unscrew and voila! This one has plastic tabs that need to be accessed from behind the trim. I fully removed the trim (due to radio install) and STILL broke a small plastic tab off the retaining clip while trying to remove the lighter. Bummer, but no one will see and it doesn't affect normal operation! hope this helps. Very easily follow instructions to remove the stereo (Crutchfiled.com). The 12v plug (lighter socket) is attached to the center housing (usually black on all 4Runners) has two electrical plugs to the back of the lisghter socket: one for the 12v feed, the other for the green illumination lamp. The lighter socket itself will twist out and a replacement lighter socket can be purchased at a junkyard or local dealer.

1st: Locate the fusebox, usually under/behind the instrument panel (where your knees would hit the dash)-(see user's manual for exact location) sometimes located under the glovebox.

2nd: On the inside of the fusebox cover you will find the reference for what fuses do what. If the fuse for the cig lighter isn't labeled specifically, look at the Accy, or Assy, fuse. (Accessory).

3rd: Actually look at the suspect fuse. You should see a break, or gap in the metal band that runs through the fuse. (This band is usually "S" shaped).

There should be extra fuses somewhere in the fusebox, or on the cover, if not, go to the Auto Parts store and buy them.

BE SURE TO REPLACE THE BAD FUSE WITH ONE OF THE SAME SIZE !!!

The fuses are labeled according to their ampacity.

There will be a number on the fuse; usually 10, 15, 20, 30. This is the current rating of the fuse.

Hope this helps,

I own a 2006 Dodge Stratus, and I also had a problem with my cigarette lighter socket. I located the exact fuse by accident the other day.

-The owner's manual DOES NOT specify a fuse for the cigarette lighter.

-The internal fuse box cover DOES NOT specify a fuse for the cigarette lighter. (This fuse box is located below and to the left of the steering wheel. Access by opening the driver door, then pull the cover off to reveal the fuse box. The fuse diagram is under the cover.)

-The fuse for the cigarette lighter is located in ANOTHER FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD next to the positive (red) jumper cable terminal. Remove the cover by pinching the tabs inward. The cigarette lighter fuse is a 20 amp fuse on the bottom row.
