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!
