If yes, I’ve got a question:

Why doesn’t my zipo work? It has enougth gasoline in it and makes a clear visible spark, but there’s no fire.

The String is very burned down tho.

I don’t know the exact problem, but when I lit it with another lighter it works so it probably can’t catch the spark for some reason.

Any Ideas?

EDIT: No I didn’t use actual gasoline

EDIT2: The solution was to pull the string a bit and trimm it.

    No, my first language is german and in german lighter fluid is called Feuerzeugbenzin (lighter gasoline)

      Fuel is probably a more general english translation for benzin.

      There’s also the chemical benzene but nobody puts pure benzene in cars or lighters 😅
