Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Probably run on anything that burns. I used to know a guy who would twist a bit of wire onto his Zippos windshield and toss the whole thing into a bowser of aviation fuel. When it lit, the flame would be about a foot long and give off thick black smoke. Not very discreet, but it worked. I guess. 
I've only put lighter fluid in it, I put parafin in a Zippo and it killed it. After 15 odd refills on lighter fluid, it still wouldn't light so I had to replace the wadding.
I really like it Ged, not the usual Chinese tat. Quite big for a zippo insert copy and the case is mostly ABS plastic with ally trimmings and magnets to hold the lid shut. It's got a weird wick, kind of plastic covered. It lights really well and instantly. I wouldn't be surpised if it did actually light.
Still no match for an Imco though.

Heads up on these solid water resistant lighters. $4.12 delivered (around £3)
I've been using one constantly for nearly 2 weeks and quite like it compared to my Imco's, Zippos and the like. The build quality and finish is excellent for this kind of Chinese stuff and throws a decent spark at the wick.
The aluminium collar slides up and down on rubber O-rings to reveal the striker and the collar seats onto another o-ring to stop the petrol vapours escaping.
The O-rings make this a lighter suitable for use after short immersion and so useful for the paddlers and those of us that venture onto frozen water as a main user lighter.
The little split ring is uselessly small but is easily swapped for cord or a bigger split ring.
How are these working out Pete? Worth getting a couple?

Still working mate, mine has faded a little to more of a pink now too. 
Depends if you like pink.

These might be of interest to some folks who prefer Clipper lighters ............http://www.amazon.co.uk/Clipper-METAL-CLIPPER-LIGHTER/dp/B001PPFCBG
No different from a zippo, mine evaporates about the same rate
