Is butane and lighter fluid the same thing
Lighter fluid or lighter fuel may refer to: Butane, a highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gas used in gas-type lighters and butane torches. Naphtha, a volatile flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture used in wick-type lighters and burners.
What kind of fuel do I need for my lighter
First things first: Fuel
They run on butane, a liquid gas that's easy to find and relatively inexpensive. But when filling or re-filling your lighter you don't want to use just any butane. You want the most refined butane, not the stuff they sell behind the counter at the corner convenience store.
Can you put butane in a regular lighter
Your typical Bic-style or disposable lighter is not refillable. Once the fuel runs out of a disposable lighter, there is no way to replenish the gas tank. When a lighter has a valve at the bottom, you can insert the stem from a can of butane to add fuel to the tank.
Can alcohol work as lighter fluid
You could use Butane, which is what regular lighter fluid is, or other more combustible fluids. But, as a direct answer to question, yes. You can use ethanol as lighter fluid. Yes, you can.
