Jewll Trigger Lighter Fluid

[JGRJR]

I know lighter fluid is the only thing recommended to clean and "lube" a Jewell trigger. The question I have is what type? The number one recommended type seems to be charcoal grill lighter fluid. I went to buy some and Kingsford and all the others I could find say no odor on the label. Is that the right stuff or has something changed in the formula?

I like to use the cigarette lighter fluid. I don't think charcoal lighter fluid is the same stuff.

Any cigarette lighter fluid.

I use Ronson cig lighter fluid.

Like said above not charcoal starter fluid, cigaret lighter fluid like you would refill a Zippo lighter. Ronson brand, it comes in a yellow and blue can.

Any good grade of solvent should flush the trigger. What happens to the solvent inside your trigger after the flushing should also be considered. Something might work well on a July afternoon in San Marcos TX and not as well on a January morning in Saratoga WY.

Ok. I emailed Jewell

Me-I am a Jewell Trigger owner and I have heard it is recommended to flush the trigger with lighter fluid. Which lighter fluid is recommended?

Jewell-
We use charcoal lighter fluid but you can use brake cleaner as well.

Me-Thanks for getting back to me. I have looked at charcoal lighter fluid. Most of them like Kingsford say on the label no odor. Is that the right stuff?

Jewell-Yes

Well how about that. Years ago they did recommend the other type.

I believe Ronsonol is mostly naphtha. Highly flammable, but evaporates quickly. I don't know what's in charcoal lighter fluid.

 

[Edd]

I would use lighter fluid when it is warm and brake cleaner when it is cold.

I believe the charcoal lighter fluid leaves a slight amount of residue that acts as a lubricant. BrakeKleen will dry almost instantly and leaves no residue.

I was worried that some of the newer lighter fluids would not have the light oil residue from some of the older lighter fluids. I think the newer Kingsford fluid that says low odor is probably not the same as before. Jewell is maybe more concerned with the cleaning?
