You can quickly get most of the tools you’ll need in any grocery store or convenience store. There are a few procedures to take once you’re ready to refill your BIC lighter.
To begin, make sure the lighter is empty of lighter fluid. Otherwise, this might be a dangerous situation.
Try rotating the spark wheel on the BIC lighter to ignite it. Shake it or smack it against anything hard if it doesn’t ignite. It’s undoubtedly empty if you don’t hear anything within the BIC lighter.
Next, locate the ball bearing by turning the empty BIC lighter upside down. Then, grab a safety pin, a paper clip, or a pushpin. With it, push the ball bearing out of the BIC lighter.
You can try to open the fuel reservoir. This step is another opportunity to double-check that the BIC lighter is empty before proceeding.
And then, drive the nozzle of your butane or lighter fluid bottle into the reservoir aperture while it is open. At this point, you can now fill the BIC lighter with lighter fluid by turning the canister over. Filling the BIC lighter entirely should take about 30 seconds.
When filling the BIC lighter, press down firmly on the aperture to prevent any butane from seeping out. Then, drive the safety pin or put the pin back into the canister once you’ve finished replenishing the BIC lighter with butane fuel. This step should make sure that you close it up.
Now, take your pliers, clippers, or wire cutters. Use these to snap the pushpin or safety pin’s end off. This portion will prevent the lighter fluid from seeping out of the BIC lighter.
Finally, get your sandpaper or file (on Amazon). You can use it to file the end of a pushpin or safety pin to remove the safety hazard and lower the risk of injury.
