This handy little fuel canister allows you to carry enough fluid to refill a Zippo lighter or a 6HR Zippo hand warmer without having to carry around a large can of lighter fluid. In can be especially useful to a fire accelerant with you while in the outdoors as well.

I am thinking that Kerosene lasts much longer in Zippo lighters without evaporates less than using Zippo lighter fluid. Try it.

Love this canister. Have it hanging inside of my EDC backpack on a carabiner. You seriously don't want to end up with an empty lighter and it's a bit of a problem with Zippos 😂

@Scott24460 Жыл бұрын

I bought one and I was pissed when it leaked brand new out of the package. Determined not to give up, I found the source of the leak was between the main fuel cavity and the spout. The rubber washer was not making contact with the rim of the canister. I went to my local hardware store and pick up a pack of Moen M1507 rubber washers I found in the plumbing section. It’s never leaked since. Posting JIC anyone else has had the same issue.

@nobody2021 2 жыл бұрын

i don't know if you mentioned it, but it is important to leave the lid off like you did so that when you screw it back on with fluid inside, the air can vent out. if you leave the cap on the nozzle part then lighter fluid will seep out when you tighten it down. i learned this the hard way.

I found that it fills a little faster when the tip of the bottle is in contact with the cotton and the vent hole is on top. To me, it seems the dry cotton helps sucks out the lighter fluid quicker.

Say, Ben, have you ever come across the Buck Knives Bucklite multi-tool? I think it was a response to the Leatherman PST. It's plier-based and about that size. It doesn't open like either the Leatherman or the Gerber. There are 4 tools in each handle (if you count the beefy, swing-out lanyard loop). The handles don't pivot open in the plane that the pliers work in, but they pivot open perpendicular to that plane. One handle pivots through 180° and then pulls the plier jaws another 180°. The design is an attempt to deal with ease of access problems in the PST which I think was a limited success. I'd be interested in hearing your take.

wow such overprized very small yet overbuilt fuel bottle, in my country they sell small spray bottle connected to a small carabiner meant for portable hand sanitizer, I would buy that either in red or black or buy both and exchange the bottle and the cap to make red and black combo, and use its sprayer in close proximity to the cotton we can count each spray better than counting drops, those thing are so cheap you can hang one with every set of keychain so everywhere you go you will have some spare lighter fluid either to refill your lighter or just to spray clean your key hole or padlock or to clean your own hand from engine oil and gunk, or to make a flame thrower

Seems like they cheaped out with the flint holder, it looks like a piece of rubber with a hole in it, so maybe your flint could fall out. If I were the boss of the world, the flint holder would have been made of metal and would have a threaded top you could just unscrew to get at your extra flint. That way you'd never lose your spare flint.

Part of me wishes that I was willing to use a standard zippo. I just can't get passed the required refill and maintenance. I've got two Zippos the I use, one for work and one for civies. Both have jet butane inserts. It's just so much nicer to be able to just know that the fuel in them hasn't just evaporated over the course of the week.

@@zombifyerilc216 That's fair. Though I'm not always in a position to refill once a week. There is also the benefit that the butane insert works for lighting cigars in a pitch. As long as you have teeth, a sharp knife, and one of the butane inserts, you can prep and light a stick. You never know when a cigar emergency may arise.
