There are also two small holes in the top compartment where spare flints may be stored. The top swivels for replacement of the flint - which isn't really easy to do unless you remove the screw and remove the top and then put it all back together again. Obviously, I followed safe procedures during the refueling and attempted to determine if the filled tank had any leaks prior to firing it up.Ĭ. So, these old lighters aren't necessarily dead just because you can't buy the intended fuel canisters for them. I plugged in a can of butane and there was a fair amount of "spillage" - but most of the gas went in the tank and the lighter worked fine - fired right up. I had an adapter valve lying around, so I screwed it into the bottom of the tank where the refill capsule would hook up for a "regular" refill. I am not recommending this I am just relating a personal experience. These lighters used a one-time refill can that was discarded when it had refilled the tank in the lighter. Ronson also invented the "gas can" to refill gas lighters. The first gas lighter was the Quercia Flaminaire. Ronson invented the multi-refillable gas lighter and this is one of the first.
