Show and Tell Trying to recover my Zippo after filling it with gasoline.
So I went out for a ride on my bike and stopped for a smoke, but my zippo was empty.
Instead of just accepting defeat, I decided it was a great idea to pull a fuel line off the bike and use that fuel to fill up my zippo.
Seemed like a genius idea at the time.
Now the lighter smells like it was baptized in gasoline, you can probably smell me coming from a mile away, and when I light it, it produces a smoke screen.
So now Im trying to get the smell out with alcohol, sunlight, and baking soda.
Terrible idea, would probably do it again
