2012年1月2日 · Use an Aladdin lamp. An Aladdin burns fuel - whether kerosene or paraffin oil - much cleaner than an ordinary wick lamp. The reason is the mantle in an Aladdin burns at such a high temp that particulates and volatile gases burn off and therefore do not contribute to indoor air pollution. To prove my point, do two comparisons: 1.

2010年3月2日 · The difference between kerosene and lamp oil is about $20 a gallon. Either product can be used in any oil lamp.

2010年11月28日 · Kerosene from a gas station, but it has gone up a lot around here -- over $4.00 a gallon. I used to buy lamp oil from Walmart that worked better than kerosene, but as you say, the price has really skyrocketed.

2008年1月25日 · I find the best lamp oil for the little lamps I make and use is olive oil. If you are referring to the kerosene/paraffin type, I use the liquid paraffin unscented. Most of the lamp burning I do is olive oil lamps. Olive oil isn't explosive flammable like kero/paraffin.

2010年1月30日 · If you cant find any lamp oil or kerosene in an emergency, you can use charcoal lighter fluid. It works ok in standard non-pressurized oil lamps with wick. I suspect if you cant find wicks or other lamp parts locally, you will have to order online or some snailmail catalog.

2007年1月20日 · Healthwise, the best thing you can do is get yourself and Aladdin lamp. These lamps burn much, much cleaner than any regular kerosene lamp as evdienced by their white light. Regular kerosene lamps burn with a yellow light which indicates incomplete combustion which results in much more air pollution.

2020年10月15日 · I've been looking to buy a Dietz Jupiter lantern for its larger 84 fl oz fuel tank. However, in doing my research on the Jupiter, I found out that you cannot use paraffin lamp oil as its fuel. It's a kerosene only lantern. What I don't understand is why? Especially, when it uses the same #12632 burner assembly, same 7/8" flat wick, and same #58106 globe as my Dietz #90 D-Lite lantern which ...

2007年11月27日 · We've stored kerosene for five years and it's still clear as water and works fine. Kersosene is an oil and is not as volatile as gasoline, consequently it doesn't evaporate quickly and leave behind "varnish" like gasoline does. IMHO, lamp oil and liquid paraffin are wastes of money. For occassional, minimum use they are fine.

2005年11月23日 · Can you use regular "oil lamp" oil in a kerosene lamp? If you can, then you can buy scentless lamp oil at any of the big chain stores, i.e., KMart, etc. That stuff works pretty well, lasts a while too. They have two kinds of lamp oil - the cheaper stuff which isn't scentless, and the little bit more expensive stuff that isn't supposed to stink.

2005年1月4日 · Like the other posters I've have lamp oil stored in an unheated storage area. It has froze and thawed probably dozens of times with no effect. Bring a frozen, actually more like gelled, bottle into a warm area before you need it and you're set. In an hour or so it should liquify and be ready to use. The nice thing about the lamp oil is it doesn't have the kerosene odor that might be a problem ...
