If yes, I’ve got a question:
Why doesn’t my zipo work? It has enougth gasoline in it and makes a clear visible spark, but there’s no fire.
The String is very burned down tho.
I don’t know the exact problem, but when I lit it with another lighter it works so it probably can’t catch the spark for some reason.
Any Ideas?
EDIT: No I didn’t use actual gasoline
EDIT2: The solution was to pull the string a bit and trimm it.
You probably need to pull the wick through more and trim it. Zippos should come with a long wick within it for that purpose.
Also I hope you mean butane and not gasoline lol
What he needs is lighter fluid, not butane or gasoline.
Butane is a gas that’s stored under pressure as a liquid, there’s no way to add that to a Zippo unless you get one with a butane insert (which he doesn’t have since his has a wick)
Lighter fluid (which is basically/mostly naphtha) is a flamable liquid used in zippo type lighters.
There’s also charcoal lighter fluid which is still another flamable liquid that’s usually either mineral spirits or alcohol based.
Thanks, I kinda spurt that out without thinking. My old torch lighter was butane. Couldn’t remember what it was that came in the tin can.
