I use one also. Have for 20-30 years. I had a special leather pouch made for it for my belt. So it's handy and always vertical. No more lighter fluid burns on my leg. I think more fluid disappears in your pocket than evaporation. My .02. Note,when the flame isn't quite as high and there are a few tiny...."flare *****" for a better adjective....floating up in the flame it is time to re-fill. Ya only got approx 3 lights left.

I don't use it enough to even get to that point. I'll go to use it maybe once a week and it's empty every time I try to light it. That's what bugs me. Whereas I can leave a Bic for a year and it'll be fine.

Gone, daddy gone...

So I started taking the truck apart to really gauge how much was rusted I found the previous floor pan "repair" was really just a patch panel pop riveted and seam sealed from underneath. They never cut out the rust or treated it so it just kept creeping up into the door sill and front corner. Bummer.

So I decided just to clean it up a bit and flip it. Made a couple hundred bucks so all in all I can't complain. Now the hunt continues.

If you're going to flip it you can make a couple of more bucks by selling me that rear bumper!
