We suggest that you use only genuine Zippo fluid, flints and wicks for optimal performance, since they are specially formulated to work in the Zippo lighters. The softer material used in some non-Zippo flints could clog the striking wheel, making the lighter difficult to light.

Zippo lighter fluid, by its very nature, will evaporate, even when the Zippo lighter is not used. We recommend you fill your Zippo lighter before you leave on a trip or outdoor excursion. Infrequently lit Zippo lighters should be filled before using.

On recent models there will be a pinched hole in the felt. If so, simply insert the fluid can into the hole and squirt the fluid right into the packing material in the fuel chamber. Three or four generous squirts will be enough usually. If you don't have the refill hole, lift the corner of the felt pad on the bottom of the insert to reveal the packing material in the fuel chamber. Saturate the packing with Zippo lighter fluid. Fill slowly, taking care to never overfill.

Unscrew the flint spring from the bottom of the inside unit using a small screwdriver or a thin coin (watch the spring so it doesn't fly away). Turning the inside unit right side up again, remove the remaining piece of flint (if any) by gently tapping the inside unit on a hard surface. Place new Zippo flint in the long flint tube from which you removed the spring (the spring has a brass tip on the end which many people believe is a flint - it is not). Replace the flint spring and screw it in.

Changing a wick in a Zippo lighter is an easy task once you know what you need to do: When the wick becomes black from carbon. Unscrew the flint spring from the bottom of the inside unit. Remove screw and attached spring. Remove felt pad. Use tweezers to remove all packing from the fuel chamber. Replace packing in small pieces, interweaving the wick between the padding pieces. Replace felt pad. Be sure the remainder of the old flint has been removed from the flint tube.

Remove the inside unit from the lighter and allow the fuel to evaporate for two or three days. Replace the inside unit in the lighter case. Package lighter securely in an oversized box or padded shipping bag (large packages are less likely to be lost or misplaced in transit.) The Zippo Repair Clinic performs excellent repairs at no charge. Please do not attempt to perform repairs yourself, as it could damage the lighter beyond repair.

All of our votives always use paper core, or cotton cored wicks. With every votive being lead-free, there is no soot emission into your home.

Lead wicks are not available in the United States any more. Most people confuse zinc cored wicks with lead these days. L'ocean uses only 100% cotton wicks in our candles, providing for the best possible burn.

There is no substitute for quality. Name brand products are household favorites nationwide and are recognized by millions each day. We recommend using name brand products. You will find that your customers will use your machines repeatedly when they see quality products.

We use glycerin, FDA approved. This food additive is found in many recipes, the most common being frosting (or icing) on cakes. It is also used in some skin creams, makeup and lipstick. Others use animal-based Glycerin or water combinations.

Any fluid that meets DEXRON III requirements is suitable for use in the Allison 1000 Series™. Always verify that the container reads DEXRON III, regardless of whether it is mineral-based or synthetic.

TranSynd is a fully synthetic transmission fluid available from Allison Distributors/Dealers or at GM dealers. TranSynd is a licensed DEXRON III product and has been extensively tested by Allison Engineering in a broad range of Allison products. While TranSynd was developed mainly to meet the harsh operating conditions of heavy-duty transmissions in severe operating conditions like transit buses, its benefits translate to the pickup truck market.

Transmission fluids licensed by General Motors to use the trademark DEXRON III are required in the Allison 1000 Series™ transmission.

You should use only Tempest “Rosco” smoke fluid in Tempest “Rosco” Smoke Machines. The earlier Tempest smoke machines (1601, 1801, 9000) were manufactured by Martin and use a Martin specified formula. Tempest offers a “generic” smoke fluid that is safe to use in other brands of machines including the Martin machines.

In a word, no. Thicker lubes wont flow through the micro-bore delivery tubing, and many lubes contain solids such as wax or PTFE that will clog the tubes and reservoir. Active Fluid is unique. The whole concept of the Active Fluid System is based around using a water based lube to flush the chain clean while leaving a protective film of oil in and on the chain.

NO! Fluid granulation is a cheaper process used by many manufacturers wherein the material is mixed with water and then dried and evaporated. They do this to improve the compression abilities of the final product. However, this process often damages synergistic co-partners and decreases potency of ingredients. For instance, fluid granulation of Ginkgo biloba can still result in a standardized product of 24% ginkgosides.

The TR-3550 5sp uses the GM Synchromesh. The T56 and 3650 use Dexron III ATF, and the Viper T56 should use Castrol Syntorque. See the service manual for more details about your transmission.

If you use your bandsaw to cut metal, then a good cutting fluid (with extreme pressure additives) is vital to prolong the lifespan of the blade. There are very few metals which do not require cutting fluid and it should be used with virtually all steel and steel alloy products. It is necessary to choose between a water soluble fluid or a neat cutting fluid, particularly when bi-metal blades are being used.
