No do not use it. Kerosene will ruin your lighter petrol is what is used in lighters.
No. Charcoal lighter is usually refined kerosene and cigarette lighter fluid is naptha. Naptha is also a component in clothes dry cleaning compounds, so that is the reason it will take spots out of clothes. Naptha has a different flash point than kerosene, so do not try to fill lighters with it.
No, white gas and kerosene are not the same. White gas is a type of fuel commonly used for camping stoves and lanterns, while kerosene is a different type of fuel often used for heating and lighting.
Kerosene is a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 150 0C and 250 0C. Naphtha is also a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 50 0C and 200 0C. But the chemical composition of naphtha and kerosene are not totally identical.
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.
Nothing really it all the same stuff they just want you to buy there own brand that's all...... i have a 1988 zippo i have had and i have used generic brands and it is still working fine
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
As kerosene is less dense than water so level of kerosene will fall
Yes! Diesel, kerosene and gasoline are really the same thing except that they have different octanes. Diesel is the lowest refined gas then kerosene then your different octanes of gas. So, to make the octane the same as kerosene you simply mix the right amount of gas with diesel and voila, you have kerosene. I think u can use a lower octane than kerosene but NEVER put anything of a higher octane than kerosene! Yes!

Kerosene and heating oil are not the same. Make sure you use clear kerosene if you aren't venting out of a chimney - for example a space heater. Regular kerosene has a red dye that can be toxic
No; ether is highly flammable and volatile. It would erupt in a giant fireball by the time you lit it.
Ronsonol lighter fluid (another fuel for zippos) is actually just pure naphtha. If you've ever heard of naphtha paint thinner it is actually the same exact thing..
You need white and colored candles, a timer, and a lighter.
