So /b/, I just found my old Zippo lighter (not an original Zippo though), but I need to refill it. Can I just use Ethanol or Petroleum to refill it? Is it safe?

Are you high or just extremely stupid

I know Petroleum might not work, but I've read in some Forums that Ethanol might work too.
>>
Pls guys, I need answers.
>>
should I give up?
>>
If you don't use regular Zippo fluid it fucks with the wick you retarded hipster faggot
>>
90% Isopropyl alcohol should work.
Wet the wick too, to prime it.
I live in a country where lighter fluid is practically non-existent.
>>
Don't use ethanol, evaporates too fast, high boiling petroleum should work. Normal car fuel might have a too high vapor pressure as well

something tells my I shouldn't trust these tripdubs...
>>
>>680155321
No it doesn't.
Owned Zippos for 15 years, never once used zippo brand.
Can't find it locally.
>>
>>680155792
what were you using then?
>>
>>680153151
Just get some lighter fluid.
>>
>>680155893
Ronsonol.
Works just fine, zippo brand was never sold in backwoods Texas.

>>680155978
I live really fucking far away from the next city. Would take some time to get there since I don't have a car.
>>
>>680156163
Buy a gallon of 99% rubbing alcohol.
Problem solved.
Dries out a little faster than real lighter fluid does, but it's cheaper anyway.
>>
>>680156163
If you don't care about the lighter do a little experiment and find out.

I used deodorant spraying it on the wick a few times when desperate before.

Just get some lighter gasoline and fill it up - it doesnt even have to be Zippo brand- I've found that any cheap lighter gasoline (like this one in the pic which cost less than 4 dollars) works just as well as Zippo gasoline.
>>
You can use lamp oil - it dries out quite a bit faster and burns a little worse but it definatly works. (Also gives a bit of weird whiff of the cig at first it you use it for lighting cigs)
>>
Gazoline can work but smells bad and makes black smoke because Octane is not good for zippo.
>>
Don't use a fucking explosive fuel like gasoline, wtf...
>>
>>680153151
During the Vietnam war, soldiers tend to use common fuel. It was dangerous but it was all they had.
>>
>>680157740
Soldiers are also expendable, keep that in mind.
>>
>>680157829
So is OP, cuz he's a faggot
>>
>>680157740

Theres no danger to explode but it will make black smoke and taste very bad
