Can you take lighter fluid from a bic or other lighter and put them them in a zippo?

Also, can you take lighter fluid for a grill and put in a zippo lighter? If not yes to either of the above, where can I buy lighter fluid?|||No.



Regular lighters use compressed Butane. Zippos don't. They use light petroleum distillate or synthetic isoparaffinic hydrocarbon.



EDIT: You can buy lighter fluid at hardware stores, some grocery stores, liquor stores, or even gas stations. They sell it all over. Or you can order it online from zippo.com.



EDIT 2: As for your grill question, are you asking if you can put propane in a zippo? No.|||Hello there,





Take the fluid from a Bic and put it in a Zippo? No. The Bic and other disposable lighters use butane. If you open the lighter the fluid becomes a gas and goes into the air. You cannot tranfer it to a Zippo. Also, even if you could transfer it to the Zippo, it would not work in the Zippo. The Zippo is designed for a liquid lighter fluid.





Charcoal lighter fluid in a Zippo? Well you could get it in there. But it is not safe to use because of the flash point. You could get seriously injured and you will destroy your Zippo. This is a terrible idea. Do not try it.





Where to buy? Cigarette lighter fluid is commonly available. Of course tobacco shops have it. So do drug stores, discount stores (like Wal-mart) and even most grocery stores.





Later,|||There is butane fuel inside the bic and you can't light a zippo with butane. You would need lighter fluid for zippos. I wouldn't try to remove the butane from inside the bic b/c the butane would turn to gas immediately.|||I don't think so.Those bic lighters are sealed and theres no way to refill them and no way to get the fluid out except for using them as intended.|||NO!





Zippos take lighter FLUID.





Disposable lighters use butane GAS.
