Oh no, smells good and it's good for you. That old timey Zippo aroma in spades.

Yep it works great. Been using it for a couple years. A guy posted it on the old forum and I haven’t bought Zippo fluid since.

OK so yesterday my Zippo ran dry and much to my dismay I found my can of Zippo Fluid to be empty. So as I have about a half can of Coleman Fuel I decided to give it a try. Hey guys it works like a Champ. KK I must say that from now on I'll not comment on a subject on which I'm as dumb as a rock! It works great! No more Zippo or Ronson fluid for me!

The hardest part is getting it from that big can into the lighter. I have a couple Zippo lighter fluid cans that I refill with Coleman fuel.

You must have a very very very very very thin funnel to get it in those cans.

If you pop the plastic lid off the Zippo can you can get away with only a very very thin funnel but I still end up spilling some. 😂🙄

I pour a little Coleman into a shallow glass jar and use a syringe to fill

William S. Burroughs did the same thing.



Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We have plenty to be thankful for.

I used an old can that previously held ??? I poured from the big can into it and then used an old syringe (I give my wife B-12 shots) to fill the lighter. I then poured the unused fuel back into the Coleman can. Easy peasy.
