FAQs
What type of fuel does this lighter use?
This is a petrol lighter and requires standard lighter fluid, which is sold separately.
Is lighter fluid included with the purchase?
No, lighter fluid is not included and must be purchased separately.
How often do I need to refill the lighter?
Refill frequency depends on usage. A full reservoir typically lasts for many ignitions, but check the fluid level regularly, especially before extended use.
How do I clean the Celtic knot design?
Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners on the pewter design to preserve its finish.
What is the expected lifespan of the flint and wick?
The lifespan of the flint and wick depends on usage frequency and conditions. They are consumable parts and will eventually need replacement to maintain optimal performance.
Can I use this lighter in heavy rain?
While designed to be stormproof, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect ignition. It is best protected from direct heavy downpour for optimal performance.
Does the pewter design tarnish?
English pewter is generally resistant to tarnishing, but like all metals, it can develop a patina over time with exposure. Gentle cleaning with a soft cloth should maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Lighter fails to ignite
Check if the flint is worn down and replace it if necessary. Ensure the fluid reservoir is saturated and the wick is properly positioned.
Flame is weak or sputtering
The wick may be too low or the fluid level might be low. Adjust the wick or refill the lighter with fresh fluid.
Lighter does not hold fuel
The seal may be compromised. Ensure all parts are fitted correctly and tightly. If leaking persists, internal components may need attention or replacement.
Wind affects flame performance significantly
Ensure the wind guard (if applicable to the specific internal mechanism) is correctly seated. While designed to be stormproof, extreme wind conditions can still impact any lighter.
