Instructables website shares a step by step tutorial of how to safely refill the lighter fluid in a Zippo lighter.
Zippo lighters are made to last a lifetime, not creating thousands of pounds of plastic garbage in landfills each year.
Yes, they need to be refilled every so often, the wick and flint need to be replaced like once a year or longer depending on how often you use it.
They require maintenance but honestly anything worth keeping does.
My great Uncle has a Zippo that was purchased in 1952 and it still works.
