Zippo Butane Lighter Instructions
Zippo produced its first lighter in 1932, and the brand and basic design have remained popular with both smokers and collectors alike. The traditional Zippo lighter uses butane as fuel. When the lighter is empty, you have to manually add more butane. Zippo offers both "Blu" and "Windproof" model butane lighters, with different styles in each line. Though both use butane, the refill procedures are somewhat different. Does this Spark an idea?
