 The peanut lighter is a great buy, I filled mine months ago and it still is working.  As much as I love my Zippos (all 500 of them :D), the fluid lasts approximately 10 days before a refill, whether you use it or not.

A Zippo wick will work fine and actually last longer because of the copper wire used to wrap it tightly.  Also, I have carried a Zippo key chain fuel container with my gear for years:

It's about 8-10 bucks, carries enough fuel to fill a Zippo at least once (plus spare flints), and a peanut lighter a few times.  Mine has never leaked hand6.gifhand6.gif
