Can Tiki Torch Fuel Be Used In Oil Lamps

Mineral oil has all sorts of uses and none in my opinion suitable for use in a wicked tiki torch or oil lamp.

Can tiki torch fuel be used in oil lamps.

The first is a tiki torch fuel suitable for use outdoors in tiki torches and other uncovered wicked powered lamps and fire pots. We are about to have a hurricane and i have two oil lamps but no oil for them. To solve this problem make your own tiki torches and use vegetable oil along with some bug repelling additives to ward off bugs at your next outdoor party or camping trip. Firefly fuel offers three fuels.

The stores are clean out of regular oil. Any petroleum based lamp fuel designed to burn in a lamp with an exposed open air wick will safely work in a tiki torch. Tiki torch fuel is lamp oil with a small amount of citronella and lemongrass and a huge mark up. Tiki torches are popular for many people to use outside to keep bugs away.

Tiki torches can be fueled with paraffin oil also known as kerosene citronella oil or a combination of both. Most of the time the flames were weak and went out after the prime fuel was consumed. I was wondering if tiki torch fluid can be used as a substitute. Kerosene or paraffin oil is ideal for tiki torch use because of its long burn time and minimal scent.

The problem with these is that the fuel oil used contains chemicals that can be harmful.
