Common, big-box store Tiki Torch Fuel is a petroleum-based fluid. What this means is it has been refined from crude oil. Crude oil is made up of hydrocarbons, which contain a lot of energy. Many of the chemicals derived from crude oil like gasoline, diesel fuel, and of course, tiki torch fuels, utilize this energy.

Wondering how much liquid paraffin lamp oil to buy for the looming winter, but don't want it to expire before the last snowflake falls? Not to worry - our experience (Firefly Pure Paraffin Lamp Oil) is that the shelf life of paraffin lamp oil will last indefinitely if stored in a sealed container. Be sure to always properly replace the cap on the container to ensure maximum shelf life (not to mention safety). If the cap is not tightly secured on the bottle, the oil's shelf life will be reduced significantly by evaporation, which makes it thicken and become unusable.

So, your cat, dog, child or significant other has knocked over an oil lamp (of course it wasn't you), and you're scrambling to clean up the spilled lamp oil? All is not lost -- you can remove lamp and candle oil from hard surfaces, carpet or fabric by following these simple steps. Learn how to clean spilled oil from many types of flooring below.
