Stumbled here on the news (not very fresh, however, August 29, 2011):
http://www.zippo.ru/news/id-37/ "News 29/08/2011 - Cancellation of the guarantee at isppolzovanii low quality fuel. In connection with the cases of Zippo lighters breakdowns due to the use of substandard fuel, ZIPPO company warns that product warranty is voided by the use of fuel other than the fuel brand Zippo. Be careful when buying! Original Zippo fuel you can buy, for example, the official online store. " I immediately lost peace and questions arose: 1) The owner of Zippo lighters should chtol, collect and store all the spent fuel from the banks to a problem situation to prove that he poured gasoline zippovsky there is? 2) And if I pour fuel into the lighter Ronsonol, I get a cancellation? On zippo.ru under "original fuel" refers only Zippo'vskoe fuel, but that already belongs formally Ronson Zippo? That's it ... It seems that the end of the famous Zippo lifetime warranty on lighters come, comrades. Nobody insertiki for free will not change. Apparently the global crisis ...    |

If this "formality", then for whom? Not be the same Korolus announce changes to the conditions and guarantees himself in their repair centers do not comply with it. And in this case it is not about to fork out the cover, and killed some of the diesel fuel and cotton wool as a result, no lighter ignite. |

| IMHO, the next advertising campaign, from the series: Buy our elephants ... Purely advertising consumption. Although the tradition of lifetime guarantees and other "wild west" seems to really come to an end. |

| I have the answer. Read this news for a long time, he was amazed. Preamble. The question here, as I understand it, is only the petrol lighters, because the nearest warranty service gas Zippo BLU concerning Russia and the CIS countries is still in Germany, and plus - zippovsky gas in Russia is not officially available. So Zippo BLU anyway in which case will be sent to the repair in Europe. My opinion about this news. This rule is from the beginning to the end of the full amateur Russian representation Zippo, and here's why. I once asked fellow collectors from around the world, there are such rules at their distributors Zippo. As it turned out, nowhere in the world such a rule is not, and old George Blaisdell probably not yet risen from the grave, so here to go and change the rules lifetime warranty Zippo. Maybe Russian distributor endowed with some special rights in this respect - I do not know. But for example, during the Second World Zippo refueled with petrol tanks of fuel tanks - and nothing else, these lighters also guarantees have not lost yet. Yes, plus another legal aspect: if you brought in warranty repair lighter, and you refuse to repair, referring to the fact that you say it wrong refueled with gasoline - that in fact prove that the service center would not be able in any way. So LIFETIME WARRANTY ZIPPO nobody canceled. In general, it does not work normally. I advise you do not take the head. | |

| Volodya, but particularly in the head and no one takes, for as you have rightly said to prove the fact of using the wrong fuel is more expensive than replacing the insert. It is encouraging to hear that this is another gag Russian Mission (reminiscent of "Goblin" translating lifetime warranty that worldwide free, and in Russia was "only one dollar). |

Well in the original translation was "one cent" and it is very famous gaffe. And what about "never mind" is like saying, I have been asking a lot of people in recent months about the news. So thank Botas, that raised the issue. | |

Exactly! One cent! A theme, yes. Once it raised, then the problem exists. Once it exists, it is necessary to set the record straight E :-) |

| Hmm ... In the case of mechanical damage lighters (damage to the body, cover, hinges, etc.), submit to the European single lighter repair center lighters Zippo:
Zippo European Repair Clinic. Groendahlscher Weg 87, D-46446 Emmerich am Rhei, http://www.zippo.ru/guarantee/service/ Pavilno I realized that a full warranty as such is left? | God is with us, and two machine guns ... |

| I think that, again, is an initiative of the distributor (and perhaps it is their legal right). Itself zippovskaya guarantee will not go away. But apparently, than to replace the insert in the Moscow service center more does not help. Previously, at least loop soldered new ... | |
