How to: Fill a Zippo lighter up a with lighter fluid - with pictures

First, you wanna have your empty Zippo lighter and some lighter fluid. Zippo makes lighter fluid too, I recommend that. You can buy lighter fluid in most stores near you.






 Now, you want to open the lid on the lighter. Simply pull the two pieces apart, like shown on the pictures.

  In the bottom of the inner piece of the ligther, you find a screw (for the lighter-stone) and some fabric. In the end (opposite of the screw), carefully lift the fabric, and under the fabric-lid you find some wool-kinda-fabric. That's where you want to pour the lighter fluid.
 You want to fill the lighter until you can see it starts soaking. If it drips from the sting, it doesn't really matter. The only thing that will happen, is you hear some sparkling sounds when you ignite it the first times. But if you see it is dripping, you know when to stop.





Now it is time to put the two pieces back together. Make sure the fabric-lid in pushed back in. And remember to put it down right, otherwise the cap will not be able to close.





Close the cap, and open it again. Try to ignite the Zippo lighter. Should be working just fine if you followed the steps. Great success!
