Thread: How do you fill a lighter?

I dunno whats going opn with replies above but when filling a lighter you employ dockers or steevedoors, pull the lighter alongside of the wharf and crack the whip.

Hope that helps with the above problem.

That sort of explains the Barmy Army bod trying to light his pipe by rubbing two cricket stumps together

Did you fully disperse the gas before filling?

Daddles, there are two type's of gas bottles for your BBQ, one for the BBQ it's self, and one for refilling. The one for refilling is marked with a black or blue stripe top to bottom, this indicates an internal tube. The gas expands when the valve is opened and pushes the liquidfied gas up the tube and into the empty bottle. This is the reason why you have to invert the refill can, as it does not have an internal tube.

A gas ligter on the otherhand has an induction tube as it is required for the correct air/gas ratio for ignition to take place, as for your lighter inverting places the liquid at the valve, pushing down opens the valve and the liquid expands and pushes the liquid into the lighter. Hope this helps you understand what is actually going on. Also as already mentioned, take care with your skin being exposed to the liqufied gas as it will leave a nasty burn.
