Of course, be sure to follow the directionsthat come with your particular tiki lamp – different tiki torches may havedifferent suggestions as to how to fill them. 1.Do not fill past line marked on bottle. 2.Never use gasoline, kerosene, or other inflammable fuel. 3.Screw flame guard and wick assembly back onto fuel container. 4.Do not over tighten. 5.Place bottle into torch. Fillup your torch to the fill line (if there is no fill line, be sure to leave atleast half an inch between the top of your tiki torch fuel and the top of thelamp). Screw the flame guard and wick back on. The above is just a generalsuggestion. However, one thing that is important to remember is to only useapproved tiki torch fuel in your torches – never use kerosene, gasoline, or anyother flammable material (unless recommended by the tiki torch manufacturer). TikiTorches Safety instructions: Keepyour fuel supply securely stored. When you’re actively using your tiki torches,fuel and flame will naturally be in close nearness. Absent that, keep flamesafely away. Your jug of tiki torch oil should be stored in a cold, dry, wellcirculate air location. Don’t keep it in your house. Similarly, if you ownpropane tiki torches keep your extra propane tanks outside, well away from yourhome and in a fresh or sheltered location. Alwaysput out your tiki torches when you expect them to be unattended for extendedperiods. Running inside to take another 6 pack for the cooler is all right. Butif you’ve said your farewells to your last guests and are planning to turn in,don’t just leave your torches unattended to flame out. Not only is it a wasteof tiki torch oil or propane, but an open and unattended flame is just an openand unattended invitation for tragedy. Keepa chemical fire extinguisher handy. I consider a fire extinguisher a homesafety necessary but it is entirely critical item to have on hand if youentertain with tiki torches. Don’t rely on your faithful hose. Water will onlyspread tiki torch oil without extinguishing the flame and compound an alreadyterrible condition. A chemical fire extinguisher is the only good alternative.
