How to fill up a Zippo lighter with petrol

If the flame of your Zippo has decreased in size or doesn’t even light, you probably need to fill it up. Something very important to keep in mind is that you must fill it with a product specifically for lighters. For example this gasoline for Zippo’s (benzine). Do not use any liquid because it could be dangerous.

Step 1

Open the Zippo and pull on the portion of the wick to remove it from the housing.

Step 2

Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw so you can lift the piece of felt.

Step 3

Soak the cotton inside and let the liquid distribute well. If necessary you can repeat this step until it is wet. Let it stand for a few minutes so that all the liquid is distributed well in the cotton.

Your lighter is now ready for action. Before you try it, remember to wash thoroughly just if you have any remaining liquid on your hands.
