It depends on what temperature it is at, and how well sealed the container. The higher the temperature, and the more the container is open to outside air, the fast it will evaporate. Exactly how long it will take is very difficult to determine however!

Naphtha lighter fluid typically evaporates within a few hours if left in an open container or spread out in a well-ventilated area. The exact time can vary depending on factors like temperature, air circulation, and the amount of fluid present.

How do lighters work?

When you pull your finger/nail down on the wheel, it creates a spark, and then you push the button, which makes lighter fluid come up and the sparks light the gas. The reason the fire keeps going is because as long as you hold the button down it keeps releasing fluid into the fire. If you were to break the release on the fluid, then it would keep going, making a fire that doesn't burn out until you run out of fuel. This is what happens in a BUTANE lighter, another type of lighter is a NAPHTHA lighter.

Will lighter fluid on a floor start a fire if you smoke?

Only if you are smoking at the time. Lighter fluid has a high evaporation rate, so it doesn't take long to for it to disappear off the floor. It is NOT permanent in the flooring. Of course, do be careful for a couple of hours because it is highly flammable...as we know!

What is a good substitute for Zippo lighter fluid in a Zippo lighter?

For the man that keeps deleting my answer.. this guy is wondering whats a good household substitute he can use.. HOUSEHOLD.. Rubbing Alcohol works nicely.. cool blue flame too. : You can use any fuel based liquid as long as the flash point is lower than the Naptha liquid used in Zippo and Ronson lighter fluids. : Using higher flash point fuel is dangerous because the metal chimney (one with holes) gets hot, and the heat disipates into the fuel chamber agitating the evaporation of the volatile liquid. : However, lower flash point fuels can and will create sooth and deposits in the Zippo system, which means higher costs on wick replacements, chimney cleaning, dirty flints, using more flint strikes, etc, as it was never designed to use these other types of fuels. : In the end, it would cost more to maintain the lighter in top condition. : In case of emergencies, such as camping and military use, Kerosene would be the next best. Never use jet fuel such as Jet K, because they contain additives for jet turbines that would produce toxic fumes on a Zippo.

Can you use charcoal lighter fluid in a diesel engine?

Well, you can add a little bit, since Charcoal lighter fluid is mainly kerosene, or a light form of kerosene. In winter, diesel fuel is actually cut with kerosene as an additive to prevent clouding . It lowers the solidification of the diesel fuel. So its probably OK to add a bit,.....maybe a quart or so to the older diesel engines. ITs probably OK for even newer diesels as long as its a quart or less. Do not run 100% lighter fluid in a diesel engine. There is no lubricity, and the cetane is not adequate.
