Can you use zippo lighter fluid instead of petroleum ethanol? Or are they they same?

So, first you grind the seeds into a fine powder, then you put them in the lighter fluid(or whichever), shake a lot, then let it stand for half an hour or so. After that you strain it, take the seeds, and put it in everclear. Let it stand for a few days, then strain again. Then drink the everclear.

Is that correct?

The only problem that I see is if lighter fluid doesn't work getting petroleum ethanol.
