Table model Barcroft 4 produced from the late 1950s until 1979, and was the most mainstream desktop model Zippo. In contrast to the first model, which used very large inserts in Barcroft 4 uses a conventional insert, the same as in all Zippo. However, the rather massive case hides inside the contraption device by which Barcroft consumes 4 per refuel 3-4 times more fuel efficient than conventional Zippo. Inside the case is felt which is impregnated during refueling - at first it is necessary to pour gasoline into the body precisely. The insert, in turn, its lower part in contact with the filler body, thus impregnated gasoline itself.

Here is a diagram in section 4 Barcroft and instructions for filling it. Note the sequence: first, poured petrol into the body, and then later in the insert :)
