How to Refill a Zippo Outdoor Utility Lighter

The Zippo Outdoor Utility Lighter is designed for use in outdoor situations, including camping. Featuring a fuel-level window, a rubber grip, metal construction and an advanced ignition system, the Zippo lighter uses butane to propel the flame. Because butane is used to produce a flame, it is necessary to refill the lighter. Follow a few basic steps to successfully refill the Zippo Outdoor Utility Lighter.
