Now that Dad's lamp is ready to go, I have bought some Zippo lighter fuel to put in it, as advised by the man who refurbished it.
I'm a bit unsure of how much to put in, initially, and a bit scared really. Shall I just put a few drops in first of all, or shall I fill up the reservoir? I do know that whatever I do, I shall take it outside before depressing the plunger at the side!
Half fill the reservoir for now Tills. A full reservoir was intended to last for a full "shift" and more when lit. Leave it until the wick has taken up fuel and it will light. Good luck Tilly.
Pleasure Tills. I am so pleased you have it working. It seems like a long time ago since you initially asked about refurbishing it and it just seems "right" that you have it done and dusted just before Christmas.
