Hartman, the answer is more than exhaustive))) But how many people, so many opinions, it can be an expert, to know? And in general on this site I was not so long ago, so still do not know who's fumbles, and who is not.


Basic common sense, common sence - available to everyone and while it's free. :)

Petrol lighters were made in the millions since the beginning of the twentieth century, the percentage of Zippo in this mass was not quite the same basic. All lighters have the wheel-kresalo. And fill with gasoline. And that is quite typical - even in the trash zadryuchennye postwar lighters from my pores like a collection - work, neither of which kresala damage, and even more so about the evil eye charms, not a speech. And kresala, obviously were in the supposedly harmful vapors nezipovskogo fuel, Ronson-s, StreamLite-ditch, Park-s and others like them - are equally affected.

What's even funnier - manufacturing technology kresal actually worked for centuries and of no know how, and now out of the question.

From the pile of lighters I only once saw a little lighter with a "bald" wheel, but her former boss, judging by appearance and trail repairs - used for decades and only daily.

Suddenly from nevozmis declared someone who spoke with a kind of "special", and declares that, de, this special prophesied that only brand gasoline "does not take away notch."

For all the experience of human life - is nonsense syurrelistichesky ukurivshegosya the shit junkie if Gauvreau on a more or less reasonable initially man. Because never in the history, for which humanity communicates with gasoline and perekalennoy steel, not even a suspicion that the gasoline or nefras what that would spoil the mystical opbrazom steel items. Nephras would otherwise polished steel surfaces.

And there is a rule: "Look who benefits."

Create a bike, to catch up on horror in the ass a sympathetic ear - this is probably the corporate strategy. Ronson wrote the same always and everywhere that say, only the original raskhodka can provide a stable result. The same cries Epson - for only in raskhodke "beat" the printer. And so on.

PS. I am willing to believe that the harder flint wheel can grind faster than 10 years. Just in my experience zippovsky that just one of the hardest. I believe that holding the lighter lighted a very long time - the wheel "release" and "float" on it to grind off very quickly. But to believe in gasoline, unexplained by eat up a notch - Nope, never. Rather, I believe in the healing properties of Alan Chumak.

Read, and I even began to wonder where do would appear that opinion.

But in order to really convince myself today asked about it at his boss, Ph.D. metallurgist.

According to him, gasoline can not affect the state of the surface hardened steel and corrode tembolee. Rather, it would prevent the interaction with the environment.

And, in principle, not in vain, many rust on the garage level, that is, in kerosene, gasoline washed.

I think that the rust could occur in the following situation. For example, during one of the last Booster, outdoor rain fell, and the owner was just wet hands. Gasoline in the lighter was almost over, and the fire is burning is not very stable. Then, for reasons known to us the circumstances, the owner puts the lighter on the shelf ... for 2-3 days. And voila ... =)

Talk turned right in the detective investigating the insignificant fact)) And your version really seems plausible. But in my opinion about the rust is not mentioned here, the author remarks said that petrol will destroy nezippovsky cuts. And what is it really spoiled, HZ))

Poor quality fuel affects the wheel like this: Buy a diluted waste products of donkey shit. Fill. In tchetnyh trying to ignite this shit twist kresalo speed forcing blush rotary piston engines Group Mazda. Litter kosesiko small crumb of flint. Instead of having to take a needle and clean the grooves, go to the forum and authoritatively declare: "From bad fuel and too solid silicon (ahem, soft silicon we were only in kindergarten and they were called - Clay) kresalo was" bald "for sex a year! Help! "

Jokes aside, I really stole operator =)))

10 rubles each day from the account were leaving, and I would not notice if the circumstances are not forced to get down from the shelf my old Smart, where the balance is displayed on the screen at once, with constant updating.

According to the detailed account, it turned out to last for several months.

First, the operator called, he said that the money is taken to the partner company, and that he could not do anything, except to stop the withdrawal, but to return them or not. The company's partner, told me: "What are you worried about, you also do not shoot! A return neee ... write letters to our support staff. " In support of those silent ....

So then there were angry letters to the operator, their internal "investigation" and in which the money was returned.

Something like this ... the final story is nice, but frustrating all the same.

Slava, I agree that this is an isolated case, based on which the smart people do not make great discoveries like: "All operators Zippo, Mercedes, Cops, Screwdrivers, Tajikistan (underline) - shit!"))))))))))

Certainly agree, none of your friends like it was =) And in the internet quite a few reviews of these tricks.

And about the corrupt wheels of Zippy, I've already said that I've got a lighter, in which the wheel is working very poorly. Native flint sparks almost there. The situation makes imkovsky flint.

Wheel cleaning is better not to become. On Monday, if not forget, carried to his laboratory, teeth look under a microscope. But at a glance, and in comparison with the other finger wheels, it just grind. Would have to know the reasons for this ... maybe it was released the previous owner. It is interesting just to mess with him. I want to try to anoint tverdosplavom, though not sure what they will get in touch ... we must try in general.
