Does zippo lighter fluid contain naptha?

Yes, Zippo lighter fluid does contain naphtha as the primary ingredient. It is a petroleum-based solvent that helps the fuel ignite easily and burn consistently in Zippo lighters.


How do you fix the wick in a Zippo lighter?

To fix the wick in a Zippo lighter, you will need to first empty the fuel from the lighter. Then, use a small pair of tweezers to pull the old wick out from the bottom, trim it using scissors, and insert a new one. Be sure to adjust the wick to the desired length before refueling the lighter.


What is better a standered zippo insert or a butane Thunderbird insert?

A butane (Thunderbird) insert is better because the fuel is cheaper and it is air tight so the fuel doesn't evaporate like a normal one. there are two types of insert, one is a soft fame (like one from a Bic lighter) and the other has a torch flame (like one off a blow torch but not as intense). the Thunderbird might be better but it is all down to preference.


Why will your zippo spark but no burn?

If your Zippo is sparking but not burning, it could be due to inadequate fuel, clogged wick, or a faulty flint. Try refilling the lighter with quality fuel, adjusting the wick to ensure it's not too low or too high, and replacing the flint if necessary. If the issue persists, consider contacting Zippo customer service for further assistance.
