Kerosene Lantern Frequently Asked Questions Page

QUESTION 3: What type of fuel can I use in a tubular lantern?
ANSWER: Standard Lamp Oil, Synthetic Kerosene, or Kerosene Substitute are recommended for use indoors. Clear K-1 Kerosene with a flash point of 124 to 150 degrees is recommended for outside use.

The approved fuels for indoor or outdoor use in Tubular Lanterns and Flat Wick Oil Lamps are:
1. Lamplight Farms® Clear Medallion Brand Lamp Oil, (#60020, #60003 aka #6300, #60005 aka #6400, and #6700 Only ) Flash Point: 145 Degrees Fahrenheit

3. Crown® Brand Clear Lamp Oil (#755946) Flash Point: 141 Degrees Fahrenheit
4. Genuine Aladdin® Brand Lamp Oil (#17552, 32 oz., and #17554, 128 oz.) Flash Point: 141 Degrees Fahrenheit

NOTICE: Dyed kerosene or lamp oil will eventually clog the wick and inhibit proper operation. It can also permanently stain the lamp or lantern.
If you purchase kerosene from a gas station, make sure that it is from a "blocked" pump so that it is clear and not dyed red.
(Un-blocked kerosene pumps by law must dispense dyed kerosene which will clog lantern wick, and cause it not to burn properly.)

FUEL SOURCES:
Standard clear lamp oil (Lamp Light Farms Medallion Oil,) is available nationwide at: Target, K-Mart, Ace Hardware, True-Value Hardware, Sentry Hardware, and HWI Do-It Centers.

"Klean-Heat" Kerosene Substitute is available at or through most hardware stores and home centers including: Home Depot, American Eagle, Coast to Coast, Ace Hardware, True-Value, and HWI Do-It Centers.

Genuine Aladdin Brand Lamp Oil is available from Aladdin Lamp Dealers nationwide.

NOTE: DO NOT USE PARAFFIN OIL IN TUBULAR LANTERNS WITH 5/8" or LARGER WICK. (Use Paraffin only in lamps with 1/2" or smaller wick.)

NOTE: DIESEL, BIO-DIESEL AND OLIVE OIL ARE NOT SUITABLE SUBSTITUTES FOR ANY OF THE APPROVED FUELS AS THEY HAVE A FLASH POINT OVER 200 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT

My Dietz lanterns just arrived yesterday. Here are the 72 hour Jupiters:

Love me some Dietz lanterns. In case anyone is looking here is a good online source W.T. Kirkman Oil and Electric Lanterns: Dietz Lanterns

Both, kinda. The large wicks supposedly clog up with the paraffin based lamp oils. I purchased Kleenheat, that's what is burning in the pic. It burns bright and doesn't smell much at all, definitely not like K1. I did buy the lanterns because they could burn the K1. The Keenheat will also burn in the K1 heater.

I'll be buying more Kleenheat at Homedepot for much cheaper than this price.

I bought a, smaller less expensive, Dietz Air Pilot lantern also. It came in with a broken globe so I asked them to send another one. Lehman's explained the globes were on backorder, so they were sending a new lantern, keep the broken one. Score.

One of the other things I thought about w/the lanterns is you could distribute them to the pipes you wanted to keep running (if there was a need for that).

Dual duty is a big thing. Part of what sold me on the larger capacity Jupiters was W.T Kirkman's description: Originally designed for temperature control use in greenhouses.​

Yep. They have the same BTU output as some other models (1400 btu, 7/8" wick models), but the larger capacity fount.

When I was a kid, our night illumination at grandpa's cabin was a single Coleman lantern. It was often all that was necessary to heat the place in the spring & fall. Kept the living area toasty and the sleeping areas comfortably cool. Of course the Coleman was/is pressurized and puts out more heat, but the principle is the same.

Watch your fuel!
I have been using Kerosene Lanterns regularly for several years, and I have been getting kerosene from the local VP's bulk pump.. never had a problem until yesterday. It burned great in my Dyna-glo heater, but when I used it in the lanterns I got a run away flame..
For the first time in several years I got Kerosene that had a significant lower flash point than normal..
I did not notice when out in the cold, but the kerosene had a stronger than normal "paint thinner" smell ..
I suspect they thinned the mix down to make up for the low temps this month..
But had I lit my lantern and left it I could have bunt down my garage..
