Well, the only spare fuel thing that I know of is this.
But I really don't use it, because Zippo's will run off any flammable substance. You can fuel them and they will burn off of: kerosene, car petrol, meths, diesel, and even high proof alcohol.
And that right there, is the genius of them. Yes they do eventually fun out of fuel, but you can pretty much take for granted that wherever you are, you can find some sort of fuel for them. And they're also dead reliable; so simple there's really nothing that can go wrong with them. Petrol lighters have a much stronger, more weather resistant flame than butane lighters, and they're also a little more environmentally friendly, I think.
My friends always know that wherever I am, no matter what time of day it is, I'm always good for three things:
- a zippo
- an SAK
- and a Space pen.
Because hey, you never know what could happen, right? It's all about being prepared!

PS: Of course, when in the bush, I still take a small BIC lighter as backup, but as of yet, I've never once had to resort to it. My Zippo's always worked. No matter what.
