What can you use to refill a zippo lighter?
if you really need a flame you can fill up your zippo with anything that will burn. this includes gassoline, alachol, and even alacholic beverages such as wiskey or moonshine. but be warned: filling up your zippo with these alternative fules can be very dangerous because they might explode. if you had to refill a zippo with an alternitive fuel you are better going off with an alachol based fuel rather than a gasoline type fuel. alachol burns cleaner and is alot less likely to blow up in your face. if you do not need a to light your zippo because of an emergency or something i suggest you just fill it up with lighter fluid as it was ment to be filled with. plus if you fill it up with anything becides lighter fluid you void the lifetime guarantee. it is just not worth it. hope I could help
** I belive the same can be said for kerosene. Be careful with gasoline if you over fill a zippo with it enough might atomize to cause a small explosion kind of like when you over fill it with lighter fluid it will burn in places besides on the wick.
**rubbing alachol is mostly safe thats what i filled up with mine

Can you take lighter fluid from one lighter and put it in a zippo?
im not sure if you mean taking the fluid from a regular lighter and putting that into a zippo or just simply zippo to zippo but I'll answer both.
I wouldn't recomend putting normal butane lighter fluid into a zippo because it runs out really fast and makes the flame far too big to be practical.
if you want to change fuel from one zippo to another simply remove the insert, peel back the first felt layer, take out the cotton from inside and putting that cotton into the other zippo.
hope that helped :)

No, vodka (at 40% alcohol) has too much water in it. Everclear (75%) may work and everclear @ 95% will work the best. It still won't light as easily as zippo fluid but it'll work; if not, let your zippo dry out and you'll be all set to try something else.

Does zippo lighter take the same lighter fluid as a bic lighter?
No. Bic lighters -- and most other throwaway lighters -- use butane gas, which liquefies under modest pressure. When struck, the pressure tank is opened and the butane vaporizes and travels through a small orifice, or jet, to the spark wheel. Zippos, of course, use a naphtha-based liquid lighter fluid and a woven textile wick, which conducts the fluid to the spark wheel.
