Yup. I use it all the time. Works just as well, if not better than the lighter specific fuel.

Now that you have the can refill it with naphtha from the hardware store

Not a bad replacement.

Gasoline works fine. some chicks dig the smell.

I've been burning Coleman fuel and White Gas in my Zippo lighter and hand held warmers for years and years. That white gas is right on the same shelf next to the Coleman fuel. I got no problems with 'em.

Next time you run across a bicycle inner tube, but off a few inches and save it. Take about 2 inches off that and stretch it right over the lighter. Then you'll have to roll it down to open the lighter and roll it up after you close it but that fluid fill will last 3 -4 times as long and you'll never get that leg burn again. It also makes the lighter water proof as far as I can tell from the 4-5 years I been carrying mine that way.

When I was a kid, our church had a 4th of July picnic and celebration. Someone always made a run to South Dakota for firecrackers/works. I had a Zippo lighter for lighting firecrackers. It ran out of fuel. We only lived a block from the church, so Dad took me home to refill the lighter. He overfilled it at the kitchen sink, and fuel ran down his hairy left arm. Naturally, he flicked the wheel to see if it worked. There was a sudden "poof" and his bare left arm no longer matched his hirsute right arm. When we returned home that evening, Mom had a fit about where on Earth the awful smell lingering in the kitchen came from.
