I bought this gadget https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/140490 and wonder where I can buy the lighter fluid for it?
Where to buy lighter fluid?

I will not buy this tobacconist, it is scratched.
Tobacconist and most shoe repair/key cutting shops sell it as well
You can get a bottle of Diggers Shellite from Bunnings for about $5… It is suitable for lighters and is heaps cheaper than lighter fluid.
+1 on the Shellite. Because it is very very close to the Naptha levels of the expensive lighter fluids…
Although, I think you'd be hard pressed to find it for $5. Last I bought some, it was in the $8 range. Of course, that 1L bottle is going to last you forever. I regularly fill my zippo with only 2mls.
I just checked. 1 litre Diggers Shellite sells for $7.63 in Bunnings. Will check it out…Thanks
My Bad… couple of dollars off :)
Alot of camping stores (mountain designs, scout shops etc) will also stock shellite as it is used in liquid fuel stoves. I recently bought some for $7 a litre there.
This might seem like a dumb question, but how do you get Shellite into the gadget? It's certainly far cheaper then the aerosols.
get a syringe and inject the shellite in to where you remove the thingo/string thing.
syringes can be obtained free from your local needle exchange :)
I use a straw to pipe it into the hole. Dip the straw into the shellite. Close the other end, put it into the hole and then open the other end. It will be easier if I have a syringe.
Cool! Thanks, got 50 off ebay recently, even though I only needed one, for splitting the dogs' flea treatment.
any tobacconist
