Steps
-
Buy a can of liquid gas. You can buy any brand, as long as it's not a liquid intended for lighting charcoal or barbecues.
- You can buy lighter fluid at tobacconists.If you want to make sure you buy a high quality one, you can buy ones from the same brand as the lighter.
-
Open the lid of the Zippo and remove the internal part. Hold both sides of the sprocket firmly with two fingers.Lightly support the bottom of the lighter with your other hand and pull the metal part to free it from the outer case.
- The cogwheel is the one you turn with your thumb to create the flame.
- The inner metal case should come out fairly easily, but if you've never removed the interior from the case you'll have to pull a little.
-
Set the outer case aside. Put it in a safe place, so you can find it when it's time to put it back.
-
Turn the internal metal case over to see the lower part. You should see the words "Lift to Fuel".
-
Lift this part with a paper clip, you will discover a layer of cotton. All you need is a simple, straightened paper clip to easily lift this part.
-
Press the liquid gas bottle into contact with the cotton. If you bought a very large bottle, you may want to transfer some of the liquid into a smaller bottle so you can control how much liquid you are putting into the lighter.
-
Wait 5 seconds and press the bottle again a couple of times against the cotton. Repeat this step as many times as necessary, until it is completely saturated.
-
Close the felt protector. Place the metal case back into the outer case.
- Push the metal part down.Apply light pressure to make sure the two parts secure.
-
Let the Zippo absorb the liquid perfectly, it will take 1 or 2 minutes. Wash your hands in the meantime to make sure you don't get flammable liquid on your fingers.
-
Light your Zippo. Add more liquid gas if your lighter doesn't develop any flame after trying three times.Advertising

- Do not refill your lighter on wooden surfaces or other materials that could be damaged by contact with liquid gas.
- Be careful not to break the sprocket or cap when pulling on the lighter to remove it from the outer case.
