Though I wouldn't personally use them to clean a guitar because I think they're more harsh of a chemical than you generally need and I never let my guitars get nasty enough to need something that strong. And I use them in situations that are a lot more delicate than cleaning a guitars (like wet mounting film). Coleman Camp Fuel works fine in a Zippo or any other wick-type lighter, but with regard to refinement, you have things backwards. Note: This product is for all Zippo windproof lighters. Compare that to the tiny expensive little tin of Zippo or Ronson lighter fluid, which is a smelly, less refined naphtha. Once the lever is lifted, insert the nozzle of your Zippo premium fluid into the compartment just under the lever. Zippo lighter fluid will keep your Zippo windproof lighter and Zippo refillable hand warmer working at its best. Look for a small lever on the bottom of your Zippo that reads lift to refill, and use your fingers to lift it. They may not be technically identical (or they may be), but they work similarly enough that, to me, they're interchangeable. To put lighter fluid in a Zippo lighter, start by pulling the lighter out of the metal case. with flashpoints of 30 to 60 degrees F when compared to The Engineers Tool Box’s data on hydrocarbons it appears to be some mixture of several isomers of Heptane and Hexane when compared with MSDS sheet Zippo Lighter Fluid. They both smell the same, dissolve stuff the same, and evaporate the same. Lighter fluid is a mix of Aliphatic hydrocarbons with a boiling point from 100 F. I haven't noticed a difference between them. So just because one bottle says naphtha and another says light petroleum distillate, doesn't mean that they're different, and just because two bottles both say naphtha, doesn't mean that they're the same thing.Īll of that being said, I buy both Ronsonol and VM&P Naphtha depending on how much I need (Ronsonol is a shorter drive to get and comes in a convenient bottle, VM&P is cheaper if I need to use a lot). They're kind of generalized, generic names for any number of chemicals. And the problem is, neither one is a specific chemical compound. Naphtha and light petroleum distillate are the same thing.
