Butane lighters offer reliable service and efficient fuel consumption. The fuel these lighters used constitutes a pressurized gas which, obviously, is very flammable. This fuel must be stored under proper conditions for safety reasons and to insure that the fuel dispenses correctly when the lighter is refilled.
The first and foremost rule when storing butane is access. It needs to be kept away from children as it does present a hazard to little ones. This fuel is liquid in the can but quickly becomes a gas in the absence of sufficient pressure. Anyone rupturing one of these cans is going to find themselves momentarily in a cloud of flammable gas.

Butane lighters are high-quality, reliable devices that can provide years of service to their owners. The fuel they use is clean-burning and imparts no flavor to tobacco. That fuel, however, does require some care where storage is concerned.
Butane becomes a liquid under pressure. If one shakes the can, they’ll hear the butane sloshing about. When the fuel is dispensed, the reduction in pressure causes it to become a gas. As it fills the reservoir, the pressure increases again resulting the butane reassuming its liquid state. This transition from liquid to gas is very important to understanding how to store this fuel.
