The Lighter Company

Can I use VM&P Naphtha as lighter fluid in a Zippo Lighter?

I am out of Zippo lighter fluid, and I know that Naphtha is used in lighter fluid, so instead of buying more lighter fluid do you think some VM&P Naphtha would work as lighter fluid in a Zippo Lighter?

1. This page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphtha#Examples_in_daily_life and the references on Wiki for lighter fluid say yes. How much to you trust Wiki?
2. I've seen a couple people do it. You should get your regular Ronson fluid though as soon as possible.
3. Yes, Ronsonol is Naphtha. They just put it in another bottle and mark it up 300%. I have been using naphtha for decades.
