Why Is My Zippo Leaking

How do you stop a Zippo from leaking?

Higher temperature definitely increases evaporation rate. Keeping it away from body heat and not letting it heat up a lot from flame will keep the fuel from evaporating too fast. Other than that, concentration gradient – a seal will reduce the evaporation around the container; won’t stop evaporation through the wick.

Do zippos leak in your pocket?

It causes chemical burns if it leaks in your pocket. They don’t feel good, but are gone in 2 days. As long as you don’t overfill the lighter, all the fluid will be absorbed by the cotton. It’ll be just fine in your pocket.
