Frugal lamp oil substitute

http://www.endtimesreport.com/kero_lamp_test.html



Large center draft lamps will burn kerosene, but they were actually designed
to burn "low odor mineral spirits." The same "lamp fuel" is available today.
The package is marked "Paint Thinner with Low Odor Mineral Spirits." ["Low
Odor" then meant low sulfur content.] It works just as well in center lamps.
Virtually no odor, no tar buildup, wicks seldom have to be trimmed, the
flame is a nice bright white (see lamp above on the left), and it's less
expensive than hardware store kerosene! It also stores extremely well.

Any quality lamp will burn brighter with less fumes and wick charring when
burning mineral spirits.

One typical hardware store was selling "Paint Thinner with Low Odor Mineral
Spirits" for $4.19 per gallon...and "Liquid Paraffin Lamp Oil" for $19.95
per gallon. 80% cheaper, and better quality fuel. And that's the answer for
when the power is out, and you're out of lamp oil. Go to the cellar, and get
the jug of mineral spirits from the cellar.

What's not to like?
