Despite that, some survivalists claim to have successfully used JP8, or jet fuel, in their Zippos (which is kerosene based). I’m not entirely convinced, however, and fear the fumes may have gone to their heads! Ok, I just tried a lid seal I made from 1/8″ of electrical tape, carefully wrapped arpund the edge 1/2 inside- 1/2 outside: with a lighted magnifier it appears to seal my very slightly loose lid to case body – I squeezed the whole lighter closed with max grip pressure….A Zippo lighter is a useful addition to any EDC kit. Lightweight and versatile, it’s easy to light even in high winds, stays lit without you holding it, and it’s robust enough to withstand any survival experience. A Zippo start a fire when its called upon to do so. It can also light that beautiful lady’s cigarette, or light a pilot light or the stove. It is handy for a child’s birthday party to light the candles, and of course, in the worst case scenario, economic collapse, your survival Zippo can light candles around the house.

I found that wrapping a strip of ‘scotch’ tape over the bottom of the insert helps to slow evaporation, one of the banes of Zippos. There are many alternative fuels to light your Zippo’s fire, some of which may prove easier to attain in a survival situation than the original Zippo lighter fuel. A bulky tin of lighter fluid would help your lighter live longer, but it will also weigh you down and take up valuable space in your bug-out bag.

This is easier than attempting to transfer the fluid itself as that is a complicated process resulting in losing a lot of the fluid anyway.

Open the lid of the Zippo and remove the inside unit from the case. Firmly grip both sides of the flint wheel with your thumb and index finger. Hold the bottom of the Zippo lighter with your other hand and pull up on the metal to remove the unit from its case.

It’s possible to use non-branded forms of white gas/naphtha fluid in a lighter but I can’t recommend using anything other than “lighter fluid”. Other naphtha type fuels have application specific additives and may be extremely toxic. Once a flame has appeared and you are finished using it, close the lid to extinguish. This lighter does not self-extinguish so you must close the lid. I notice that when I fire up the Zippo it now has a small gas cloud flameover before it burns normally – to me, it shows that the seal mod is trapping evaporating vapors. Reply
