Zippo Butane Insert Fix

Hey All-
My Zippo wasn’t working so I thought the fill valve must be broken. I then found out that all I had to do was bleed it to get the air out - - - saved myself further frustration!
Hope this helps you out too! 💪😎

I live in Europe and I have problem where the gas canister tube doesnt fit the butane opening hole. The canister tube is too big and the zippo hole is smaller. The zippo also didnt come with an o ring that usualy prevents leaks, any idea of how i might be able to solve this?
Im using "royal" butane gas and i looked all over for zippo gas but i cant find it in my country. Also none of the caps that came with the canister with the zippo.
Thanks
Help would be greatly appreciated

Nice lighter. What model was that? You said late '90's ?

Hey there..yeah it’s a great lighter. Just checked the model number and it’s …A XVI which I read means January 2000.. so I was just out with my dates 👍🏻
