How to Fill a Dunhill Lighter

Butane model

• 1

  Check the shape of the lighter. Butane model Dunhill lighters are rectangular with an automatic lid and have a rolling flame adjuster on the bottom or side.

• 2

  Close the cap and turn the lighter upside-down.

• 3

  Look for the filler valve on the bottom of the lighter.

• 4

  Remove the filler valve by turning it counter-clockwise by hand. With some models, the filler valve has a slot and a small coin may be used to turn the valve.

• 5

  Press the butane canister's nozzle into the filler valve until you hear a hissing sound. This means the butane is emptying into the lighter. Continue pressing until drops of the fluid escape from the valve.

• 6

  Replace the filler valve.

Petrol model

• 7

  Check the shape of the lighter. The majority of Dunhill lighters are petrol models, which use lighter fluid. They have rounded sides and an open top with an exposed flint.

• 8

  Close the cap and turn the lighter upside-down.

• 9

  Locate the filler screw at the center of the bottom of the lighter.

• 10

  Unscrew and remove the filler screw.

• 11

  Pour lighter fluid into the opening until the cotton wool inside becomes saturated with fluid.

• 12

  Replace the filler screw. The flint wheel on the top of the lighter will shine if it got wet. Do not ignite the lighter until the flint wheel dries.
