alternate zippo fuel

my zippo's out of fuel and i don't want to go out and buy zippo fuel when i have something at home that might work. i have tiki torch fuel. would that work? zippos and tiki torches seem to work the same way so i assume it would but i don't want to risk blowing something up or starting a fire or anything like that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

that would be tight to have a gasoline fueled lighter. how was the flame? was it bigger than other fuels?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

i accidentally dropped it in canola oil (oops) and that's not flamable enough so i took out the puff and let it dry and put the puff back in and filled it with gasoline but it doesn't light. it lights when i put some gas on the wick but not in the puff. i think the canola oil is clogging the wick so it can't soak up the gas. what should i do? is there a way to remove and clean the wick or is it dead?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
