The Lighter Company

Can a Zippo lighter be filled with Odorless Mineral Spirits instead of Zippo Lighter Fluid?

I've heard that Odorless Mineral Spirits are close to the same thing as Zippo fluid. So, does that mean I can use it for my Zippo lighter? If yes, what are the consequences (if any)? What are other choices?

1. You could try it without any harm. You can't get a bottle of Ronson for 3 or 4 dollars? Your other choice is Naptha, which is commonly used in Zippos as an alternative. I do not believe you will damage anything. There is really nothing to damage. There may be some stink, though, so I would not smell it.
