To fill a lighter with lighter fluid, ensure your lighter is compatible with refillable fluid. First, remove the outer casing of the lighter to access the reservoir. Then, invert the lighter and locate the filling port. Take your can of lighter fluid and insert the filling nozzle into the port. Press down gently to begin filling; you'll want to fill it until the fluid level reaches just below the top of the reservoir. Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage. Once filled, replace the outer casing and give the lighter a moment to absorb the fluid before using.
