>>511805>what's the best way to preserve Ronson/Zippo fuel in a standard Zippo?There is no practical 100% effective solution to preventing evaporation of the fuel, as the design of the Zippo means fuel will evaporate no matter what, but a new * Zippo lighter will keep fuel fairly well and only performs poorly when compared to modern butane Bic type lighters.
* I have my dad's Zippo manufactured in 1957 and due to being beat up and loose from decades of lighting cigarets and riding in his pocket every day, the fuel evaporates within a week even when just sitting there, (which is why he switched to Bics in the 80s) so I only use it when I want to be "fancy".
