Setup and Preparation

Before initiating the refilling process, ensure you are in a safe and appropriate environment. Proper preparation is crucial for safe and effective use.

• Ventilation: Always perform refilling in a well-ventilated area to prevent the accumulation of flammable vapors.
• Ignition Sources: Ensure there are no open flames, sparks, pilot lights, or other heat sources nearby. Do not smoke during the refilling process.
• Device Condition: Confirm that the lighter or torch you intend to refill is cool to the touch.
• Locate Refill Valve: Refer to your specific lighter or torch's instruction manual to accurately locate its butane refill valve.

Operating Instructions: Refilling Your Device

Follow these steps carefully to refill your butane-powered device:

1. Hold the Zippo butane fuel can upright, ensuring the nozzle is facing upwards before use.
2. Align the universal tip of the butane can with the refill valve on your lighter or torch.
3. Press the tip of the butane can vertically downward into the center of the refill valve. Apply firm, steady pressure.
4. Maintain pressure for approximately 5-6 seconds. You may hear a hissing sound, which is normal.
5. Remove the can. If the device is not full, you may repeat the process, allowing a few seconds between attempts for the fuel to settle and the pressure to equalize.
6. After refilling, securely replace the cap on the butane can.
7. Wait at least 2-3 minutes before attempting to ignite the device. This allows the fuel to stabilize and any residual gas to dissipate, preventing flare-ups.

Maintenance

Proper storage and use of Zippo Butane Fuel contribute to the longevity and performance of your devices.

• Clean Burning: Zippo Butane Fuel is designed for high purity, which helps prevent the buildup of residue in your lighters and torches. This minimizes the need for internal cleaning of burner valves.
• Storage: Store the butane cans in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and any potential ignition sources. Ensure they are stored out of reach of children and pets.
• Can Integrity: Inspect cans for any signs of damage or leakage before use. Do not use damaged cans.

Troubleshooting

Device Not Igniting After Refill

• Insufficient Fuel: Ensure the device is adequately refilled. Repeat the refilling process if you suspect it is not full.
• Air in Tank: Some butane devices may trap air in the fuel tank, preventing proper fuel flow. Consult your device's manual for instructions on how to purge air.
• Insufficient Wait Time: Always wait 2-3 minutes after refilling before attempting to ignite the device. This allows the fuel to stabilize.

Butane Leaks During Refill

• Incorrect Angle: Ensure the butane can's tip is pressed straight down vertically into the refill valve. Applying pressure at an angle can cause butane to escape around the valve.
• Valve Compatibility: While Zippo Butane features a universal tip, ensure it forms a tight seal with your specific device's refill valve. Some devices may have slightly different valve designs.
• Overfilling: Avoid prolonged pressure after the device is full, as this can lead to excess butane leaking out.
