Answer 5

I don't think it is even posible to get the fluid into a disposable lighter.  Most cheap lighters are butane.

Answer 6

The disposable lighters use butane, the old fashioned refillable lighters use lighter fluid, which is similar to petrol. It is possible to buy refillable butane lighters and to buy butane to do it with. My experience however is that it ends up costing more trying to refill disposable lighters than its worth. If you are doing it it will be for reasons other than economy.

Try placing the near empty lighter in the deep freeze, Butane liquifies @around -0.5 degrees. So then when you connect the gas cylinder (butane gas, usually a pressure pack can) to the lighter the low pressure in the lighter will allow the high pressure in the can to enter. Tip the can upside down so liquid butane under pressure enters the lighter. All very messy and you usually loose half the butane into the air through leaks etc. (Do this in a well ventilated area with no sparks or naked flames lest you go wooompf).
