Zippo Lighter Felt Pad and Cotton Replacement

Introduction

This guide will show you how to replace the felt pad and cotton inside any model of a Zippo lighter. Use this guide when you feel like your lighter has shorter fuel life than it had before. Replacing the cotton and the felt pad helps with evaporation and fuel flow, and it provides a longer fuel life. Try to replace the cotton every four months if you use your Zippo as your daily lighter.

Before getting started, purchase a felt pad and cotton pack originally made by Zippo.

If you have fueled your lighter with lighter fluid recently, do not use your lighter for a week and let the cotton absorb all the fuel. Therefore, when you want to do the replacement it will be dry.
