Zippo fuel options?

[Sid Post]

I'm using a Zippo Armour lighter and don't want a butane insert for it. Zippo fuel seems to evaporate away in about 8 hours and Kerosene tends to burn my skin.

What fuel can I use that won't evaporate away quickly that doesn't stink or burn me when it seeps out in a pants pocket? With all the Zippo users out there, I'm thinking I must be missing something obvious here.

Coleman's Fuel. Been using it in my zippo lighters for years now. That one gallon can will last you a long time.

Does it seep out on your jeans? How does it compare to Kerosene?

View attachment 1491008 Zippo makes a key chain refill can. I sometimes dribble a little accelerant on my tinder when making a fire.

Doesn't seem to evaporate as quickly and bye-bye to "pocket burn".

Another trick to cut down on fuel evaporation is to cut a ranger band and slip it over the Zippo.
