well really it depends on oh much you use it but im sayin maybe bout 2 weeks
The Zippo company has been in business since 1932 when George Blaisdell founded Zippo Manufacturing Company. In 1933 the first Zippo lighter was made.
Not if the wick, flint or steel are wet. The flint needs to be dry enough to make a spark and the wick has to be filled with lighter fluid. But if you are trying to use your lighter in the rain or only the outside is wet it will be ok as long as the are careful to keep the inside dry.

Rubbing alcohol typically contains isopropyl alcohol, which is flammable. If you were to pour rubbing alcohol directly onto a lit Zippo lighter, it could potentially cause a flare-up or even an explosion due to the high flammability of the alcohol. It is not recommended to use rubbing alcohol near an open flame or a lit Zippo lighter to avoid any potential accidents or injuries.
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.
this will last 1/2 AU
my 2000 Montana is still on its original fuel pump
it was originally designed to last 10 years, but was retrofitted to be lighter and this caused it to last until present day, where project constellation will take over.
around 5-8 weeks
It lasts until it is empty. Depends on what fuel mileage you get and how largw the fuel tank is.
No if you use a lighter it will make it hard but it will start to crack and not last nearly as long. Try freezing it while its on the dog tag.
Normally they will last at least 100,000 to 150,000 miles but there is no guarantee they will last that long. A partially clogged fuel filter will shorten the life of the pump. Running the car until it runs of of gas will also shorten it's life.
