BF55 Genuine Bromic Butane Refill Bottle, Butane Gas Refill for Refillable Lighters and Small Torches

BF55 is a Bromic butane refill bottle for topping up refillable butane devices such as gas lighters and small hand torches. It's a handy spare to keep in the van or workshop, so a torch or lighter running dry doesn't hold up the job. Before refilling anything, check the device is designed to take butane and that its fill valve accepts the bottle's nozzle.

Refilling butane lighters and torches

Refillable butane devices carry a small fuel tank that you top up through a valve, usually on the base. When the flame gets weak, short or sputters, or the igniter clicks without lighting, the tank is often just empty. Refilling from a bottle puts liquid butane straight into the tank, where it turns back into gas as it feeds the burner. For a clean fill, the device should be empty and at room temperature, and the bottle should be held upside down so liquid rather than vapour goes in.

Safe refilling

Butane is highly flammable, so refill outdoors or in a well ventilated spot well away from flames, pilot lights and anyone smoking. Let the device cool and make sure it's switched off. Press the nozzle firmly into the fill valve in short bursts, then wait a few minutes for the gas to settle before lighting. Store the bottle somewhere cool, out of direct sun and away from children.

Questions about this part

Can I use this to refill a portable stove canister?

No. Portable stove canisters are made as single use cartridges and shouldn't be refilled. This bottle is for devices with their own refill valve, such as refillable lighters and small torches.
