Zippo

Firelighters are made of various materials. Zip firelighters are made with compressed wood fibers and wax. Some homemade firelighters are made with sawdust, egg cartons, and wax.

No. It is a hazardous gas. It should NOT be ingested or sniffed.

Zippo fuel typically burns at a temperature of around 230-250 degrees Celsius.

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

1 Well there is two uses for it one is to propel a rocket.

2 The other is a flame propellent for a fire.

Kerosine has many other uses:

1. Additive with gasoline to make some aviation fuels

2. Additive to diesel to lower the freezing point and act as a flow improver at low temperatures

3. Fuel for oil fired heating systems

4. Use as a low grade burning oil

The value of brass bells can vary greatly depending on factors such as age, condition, and design. It would be best to consult a professional antique dealer or appraiser for an accurate assessment of the value of your bells.

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

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

Yes, old and used furniture can have value for probate purposes, especially if they are antiques or collectibles. It's important to have them professionally appraised to determine their fair market value. This valuation will be used for probate inventory and potential distribution to beneficiaries.

In general, there is no specific age limit for buying aerosols, as they are commonly used products. However, some stores or local regulations may have age restrictions in place due to potential misuse of aerosols as inhalants by minors. It's always best to check with the store or local laws in your area.

I would definitely not recommend it. Stick with Zippo or Ronson lighter fluid. To be honest, I'm not sure if it would work, probably would, but you don't want to be sucking in those fumes, even in small amounts.

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, deodorant burns to quickly it'll probably explode or just completely incinerate the wick. if your zippo is of any value, and if it's a genuine one it should be, or if you value your zippo at all you won't put anything in it except for genuine zippo fuel it's pretty cheap anyway.

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.

Oh, dude, like, technically, you can redeem UPCs for stuff from Newport's promotions, but, like, don't expect a yacht or anything. It's more like t-shirts or hats, you know? So, like, go ahead and send in your UPC, but, like, don't hold your breath for a life-changing prize.

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.

No do not use it. Kerosene will ruin your lighter petrol is what is used in lighters.

BIC lighters are available at almost every general store, supermarket and even discount stores. They can be bought in bulk packs of 4 to 100 in larger supermarkets and stores like CostCo.

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.

no, they get enough from what they eat

Every country person in Thailand knows that some cicadas alight on the sandy edges of streams and suck the water out of the sand. That's where they catch them to eat.

Yes

Yes, in fact that would be a a suitable substitute. Probably much better than mineral spirits or gasoline, as those two products are extremely flammable and much more volatile that zippo fluid. Whatever you decide to use just be cautious when you strike a match to it so you can be around to enjoy your BBQ. Most flammable liquids are way more explosive than zippo fluid. Also, make sure all the coals are completely red before you begin cooking anything. That way the residue from whatever you use will have had a chance to burn away.
