UPDATE 11-15-2017 I was checking my kerosene lamps for winter and lit the two chunk lights as well. Neither would burn even though the wicks were still trimmed and clean. Upon inspecting the vegetable oil inside the fonts I found it had congealed thicker and sticker than honey. Evidently vegetable oil if not in an airtight container over time leaches moisture and the gooey substance is far too thick to saturate the wick. I don't know if olive oil will suffer in the same manner but it's too expensive so unfortunately this project is at a dead end and I will exclusively use kerosene lamps for emergency lighting.
Yeah, keep food where it belongs: in the kitchen. Kerosene is much cheaper than cooking oil (unless you can get used oil from a restaurant). Care needs to be taken with almost everything in life, so regardless of what fuel you use, folks need to be careful
If you fill your little jar to the top with the oil, remove the wick from the burner and submerge the wick into the oil that way the oil doesn't congeal on the wick then Place several layers plastic food wrapping over the top of the jar and put a rubber band around it or proper fitting lid than your oil should stay good for quite some time. If you buy olive oil. That's the stuff that is not fit for human consumption but then it's mixed with the better quality olive oil and then they sell it for human consumption but at a much lower price.
Olive oil belongs on your salad. Kerosene goes in the lantern. With over 100 lamps in my collection and a few years experience burning them, I tried all of the tricks to burn quality 100% olive oil in Dietz and Feuerhand wick lanterns. It just doesn't work. Its too thick and the flashpoint is too high. They burn for less than a minute then go out and smoke. Olive oil smoke is a nauseating stink. After cleaning out the Feuerhand 276 of all olive oil using acetone and installing a new wick, the lantern burned Klean Heat kerosene substitute indoors yesterday for 14+ hours with no adjustment to the wick. It sucked every drop of Klean Heat out of the tank and the wick was dry, then went out. That's a reliable combo for preppers....fresh kerosene, Klean Heat, or diesel fuel. NEVER MIX OILS....they gum up while in storage. Kerosene works very well in flat wick lanterns just as well but stinks indoors. Klean Heat odor was apparent but not overpowering, gives the whitest color flame. Diesel fuel burned for 12+ hours in the 276 but the flame went from 1'' high 25mm to 1/4'' high or 3mm overnight without moving the wick. I think its odor was even a bit less than Klean Heat. Yes, its a suitable fuel in troubled times, burns a bit more orange tinted than kerosene, but hardly noticeable.. I'm starting to store my collector lanterns dry. Mixing kerosene and citronella oil in a new Dietz Jupiter burned well on a camping trip. 2 years later the wick had brown sticky goop on it and the flame went out in 5 minutes. It was my lesson to not mix fuels. A few weeks ago I burned my Dietz 100 for 42 hours straight, adjusted the wick up slightly about 3 times total during that time. Clean fuel, clean wick gives longest burn time without troubles.
Alcohol belongs in your stomach mixed with Coke, Lime juice, tomato juice, etc. To use it in a lantern is inviting a run away flame and a fire. You need an oil with 150 degree F flashpoint. Olive oil is way too high. My buddy borrowed my Dietz Junior and Coleman pressure lantern to go camping. He knew better than mix the fuels. But his teen daughter put Coleman white gas into the Dietz and about 20 minutes later it burped burning fuel all over the picnic table. It scared them but all turned out well.
Sorry, Dogg, it all stinks, especially kerosene. I thought I was onto something with a Sterno product for restaurant candles and chafing dishes. Its nauseating and all I could stand was 3 hours of it burning in my upstairs bedroom one cold rainy night. It smelled like embalming fluid. Its hard to believe but California road diesel fuel has the least smell in my Dietz No. 8 Air Pilot test unit.
Thanks for including comments about when vegetable oils WON'T work in this setup. During a recent power outage, I used Internet advice that I could use vegetable/canola oil in my vintage style oil lamp. So I was in the dark, literally.
olive oil and vegetable oil are much thicker than kerosene or lamp oil and will not saturate up the wick very far or at a sufficient rate to keep the flame lit. That was the goal of this modification to move the top of the wick down as close to the top of the fuel as possible while retaining an adjustable wick. This shortened the distance the oil had to saturate up the wick.
Four Ball wide mouth half pint jars were about $5.00 at ACE Hardware. The Lamplight 31507 Lamp Burners were about $5.00 each at ACE Hardware and the I bought 3" x 10" chimneys Item 57979 from antiquelampsupply for $8.98 each. I found any brand (Wesson, Crisco, Nice) 100% vegetable oil (soybean) burned better than the olive oil, it's not as thick and was less expensive. Hope that helps.
I haven't burned one from full to empty. That would take a real long time. It didn't have any problems while testing with various levels so I would say it should. Did mention the wick fouling issue and am planning on another video covering that.
Run a piece of copper wire from the flame down into the oil to get thermal feedback. Copper wire will transfer heat down into the oil and thin it out a bit. Thinner oil has a better viscosity than thicker oil and can more easily 'wick' up the wick. Biggest problems I see with those kinds of lamps is the awful wick adjusters. They rarely work for long.
@@username-ph8ng Just use a leather sewing needle and sew in some 28 gauge copper crafting wire in mine. Have not tested with anything other than lamp oil but it seems to work pretty well. I used carbon felt as my wick with 2 strands of copper sewn in. Only thing I have to do if it sits a long time is invert it to prime the wick, then light it (rightside up). Wick is permanent. After initial trimming for your desired flame (or adjusting with the adjuster), you do not have to trim it again. Arrow head shape, vampire fang shape, zig zag shape, etc. Each can make a different flame pattern.
I made a baker's dozen veggie oil lamps using 3/8" cotton twine for wicking and they worked very well for lighting an off grid home. I bet these would work even better.
......or maybe the easier route would be to just mix it with Firefly Eco green lamp fuel. By itself it is very clean burning with a actual clean smell like soap . You can also add a little kerosene to your raw vegetable oil to help thin it and reduce the clogging of the wick by non- combustible fractions , water, glycerine, bacteria etc.
Hi there, I have an oil lamp with a long wick tube. I have tried olive oil but as you say the tube kind of keeps the wick away from the olive oil so it's harder for it to reach the flame (due to the thickness of the oil). What did you use to cut the tube with? Thanks
Mixing the oil with salt will significantly reduce the amount of sot the lamp produces. This trick has been used for millennia by artists that needed to decorate ceilings in large dark enclosures like churches and was described by the Egyptian artists that decorated the insides of the pyramids. I don't know if it will also brighten the light produced by then lamp like a halogen lamp in a small way.
I believe the MAIN secret was very simple: just a shallow dish for the olive oil and wick, with a "pinched" area on one side through which to put the wick. Had I realized how much trouble all of this was I might have gone ahead and purchased those kinds of clay lamps still for sale today. (I think they come from Israel.)
@john 3.16 There is no saturation problem with mason jars -- or even short cans. The thing I really like about the mason jars is that you can cover the wick with olive oil, put the lid on, and it will keep for a very long time. (Otherwise the olive oil will get sticky, etc. and be of no use in future.)
Buy yourself one of those "Beer Can Chicken" racks & install it upside down & you have a perfectly fitting Pot Stand to turn your lamp into an emergency cooker !
I just tried it for the fit on my empty antique lamp and the size is right but you would have to be careful to use a new burner since the clips to hold the glass shade on mine are old, flimsy and one is a little loose. It might be a bad idea to put much weight on it. Making an egg or two or re-heating leftovers in a lightweight pan would probably work.
Iv filled a new hurricane lamp with olive oil, iv left it for two days before lighting it. When lit it only lasts a couple of minutes. Whats going wrong ?.
Well, I follishly started trying to put this all together without seeing your update AND not realizing about the need to get rid of the dome for using olive oil. I have spent so much money buying chimneys, etc. that I hate to totally give up on this project. MY QUESTION IS: HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THE DOME? DO YOU JUST CUT IT OFF WITH A UTILITY KNIFE? (My plan is to put a sealed lid on the container with wick when not using the lamp in order to avoid the thickening and sticky problem with oxidized olive oil.)
Oh my. I figured out how to get the dome off, but my fixture is not the same as the one in the video and I cannot make it any lower due to other parts inherent in the piece. I don't know if I will be able to use olive oil in these fixtures or not! I'll try, and if it does not work will just have to find an alternate fuel that will go up the wick I guess. Luckily I did get some super simple coils for wicks in olive oil lamps. Just won't be as pretty as these.
I suspect since ethanol (Everclear, for example) has a flashpoint in the low 50s Fahrenheit, and vegetable oil has a flashpoint well over the 100 Fahrenheit flashpoint of kerosene, that if you add ethanol to your vegetable oil in the right ratio, you can create an oil that has the same flashpoint as kerosene, and is thin enough to run up your wick, like kerosene. I have not experimented with this, but if the idea works, you can still use your excess vegetable oil in unmodified kerosene lamps, and especially the very bright ones with mantles. Regardless of that, olive oil lamps have been the main artificial light source for thousands of years, and the trick is not caring about if that wick fouls. The next time a pair of 100% cotton jeans shreds from age, slice it into enough wicks to last a year, even if you use a different wick every day of the week. Once you have old cotton clothes, vegetable oil wick fouling gets cheaper. You can also take the wick out every time you're done with the lamp, wash it off, air dry it, and trim off the tip, but that's a lot of work. If your lamp is made of something that doesn't rust, I've heard salting wicks helps.
According to the WHO, moderate kerosene exposure is NOT particularly toxic. It describes kerosene this way: "Health: • Toxicity occurs if kerosene is inhaled while being ingested (aspiration) • Irritating to eyes and skin • Aspiration may cause respiratory irritation • Acute and chronic exposure to kerosene may result in CNS effects including irritability, restlessness, ataxia, drowsiness, convulsions, coma and death • The most common health effect associated with chronic kerosene exposure is dermatitis • Kerosene does not have a measurable effect on human reproduction or development • IARC concluded that there was inadequate evidence to classify kerosene as a human carcinogen" In other words, even if you drink it, it is not very toxic. Chronic exposure can cause dermatitis, and inhaling the LIQUID is very dangerous to the lungs. If we avoid inhaling the liquid, kerosene's toxic effects are minimal.
I was reading Matthew 25 in the Bible about the 10 virgins and the 5 foolish virgins. I became curious and asked a simple question on Google about Olive oil and wow here I am. Thank you for your video.
Thanks for the video - loved it. 1) You said the olive oil burned fairly clean, have you tried other veg oils? 2) Salt to reduce soot - how much do you use???
I'm not sure what happens if we smash a lit lamp filled with kerosene. I know that in the movies it will cause a HUGE fire, but I'm not sure that kerosene is sufficiently volatile, or that its flashpoint is sufficiently low to ignite a fire. One reason kerosene was adopted is that it is not explosive (which must mean that it doesn't form clouds of flammable gas), like some earlier lamp fuels. Someone needs to do a demonstration. Sounds like a job for Mythbusters!
steppenwolf Lamp Oil, rather than straight kerosene has a flashpoint of 65 degrees c, which will never burn without a wick. You can drop a match in the stuff and the match will go out. Bog standard keropsene, that is probably only suitable for outdoors anyway has a flashpoint of 37 degrees so is more volatile, but still safe to use. Were you using alcohol?
Ok, I modified my oil lamp, filled it up with olive oil... Now, unless I´m rolling up the wick every 2 minutes, the flame really weak, and the smell is giving me a headache.
What Kerosene isn't expensive enough for you guys so you want to use olive oil. Try Channel No5 next. Vegetable oil is best for a round loose wick like a mop strand string wick. We use them as soot lamps in historic properties. They burn like a simple candle but will burn all night. Lamp oil lamps have woven flat wicks, so stick with K1. It is only $3.40 a gal at the pump (if you have that option) or $5-$10 for a bottle at the store. Veg oil in air will dry to varnish goo.
It's not the cost that's making people avoid kerosene. Kerosene shouldn't really be burned indoors as it affects people's respiratory systems, also, they have the lowest flashpoint so that eventually one could explode from the vapor they emit. These 2 features of kerosene make them undesirable beyond occasional camping or backyard use. THAT is the reason people are veering to various vegetable/olive types. And it's Chanel...not channel. That's on the tv.
Dietz lanterns were designed to NOT start a fire if knocked over, back in the days they were commonly used in barns.. Vegetable oils go solid if exposed to air, unused fr several months, and won't wick properly or adjust. And if you are so clumsy as to be knocking over lit lamps, you probably won't survive emergencies anyhow.
Other than the parts listed in the description, no. I wouldn't have any idea how to make a burner from scratch. It would be less trouble just to buy the parts at a hardware store.
Sew in some speaker wire strands into the wick to provide thermal feedback. Flame heats the copper wire, runs down the wick heating the oil in the wick, and warms the oil to thin it out. Also, if you used carbon felt you do not have to trim the wick as the felt does not burn. About fire risk - how about not knocking the lamp off the table?
@@Olhamo The wire provides thermal feedback. Olive oil has a very high flash point. The thermal feedback keeps the oil warmer so it vaporizes more efficiently. I have not tested with olive oil yet. Using plain old lamp oil right now. Works well even at 20F temperatures. When in doubt, test it out! lol
Good video sir! I found some old lamps being thrown out, and I'm going to try to find a vegetable oil that will work as they are...maybe thinning the oil with something natural. Thanks÷
if you find something that will mix with vegetable and thin it out let us know, that would be a good idea. hopefully something that doesn't produce more soot.
Hello, Have anyone tried wickless oil lamp design? To get desired flash point temperature using electric heating element or self sustainable heating element after initial priming. This is like pressure kerosene stove which after initial priming keeps burning. Thanks.
Great video and the discussion below is excellent! Any suggestions for which fuel would be best for some antique lamps that I don't want to modify? I have a very old (1853) lamp and I feel like I should be able to use something other than kerosene but I'm hesitant to try. And...frankly, my wife hates the smell of the kerosene so I seldom get to use any of the 5 lamps I have. Most are old. Only one new from the grocery store that I'd be willing to modify. Wondering about what Mineral Oil would be like. From what I can find the flash point looks to be ~200 F but I'm not sure if there's any risk or what it would smell like. Thoughts...?
you'll have to use conventional fuels that can flow farther up a wick. Most can be bought at Walmart, hardware stores, Discount stores. I don't know if mineral oil fumes are safe to burn would have to google that. Do not use paraffin oil in kerosene lamps. I have Lamplight brand (used to be Lamplight Farms) "Ultra-Pure lamp oil" for my regular kerosene lamps that I only use in an emergency such as no electricity for days and my batteries running my 12 volt LED lights has even gone dead. It is sootless, smokeless and odorless. Your Wife will love it. However: it is labeled with California Prop 65 Warning: Burning this product may result in the emission of combustion by-products which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. Here's some other brand info I ran across: The approved fuels for indoor or outdoor use in Tubular Lanterns and Flat Wick Oil Lamps are: 1.

Hi, and thank you for posting and sharing. I was wondering if I could burn parafin oil in some kerosene lamps I bought. If you know, let me know! Thanks!
Yes, but you didn't explain HOW you converted the #2 burner to use vegetable oil for light and heat. Paraffin oils and K-1Kerosene are becoming hard and very expensive to find these days, so we need to know how you adapted the burners to use veggie oil. I imaging the very light cooking oils are needed in converted burners, so you could mention what oils are better to use. Just showing it working is not enough, we have to know HOW you did the conversion, with what tools you used, burn time for the reservoir, type of wicks, or did you blend oils to make it work. Sorry to be so critical, but to do a conversion and not have it work, would be a waste of a burner and much frustration added. Things do not work because somebody says it will, we have to see how you made it work. With the dollar buying 40% less than it did 18 months ago, runaway inflation, and supply chains interrupted, buying these things IF you can find them and not having it work as you say it works after modification guesses would be most unfortunate.
I bet if you found an old lamp at a garage sale you could take the top off the burner by where the clips for the shade are for a start. The other is beyond me to do since I don't solder or weld.
It's safer than a lamp using kerosene or lamp oil. If you drop this lamp and the font breaks and the olive or vegetable oil splatters all over it can't ignite.
thanks..I will give it a try. I was just wondering if there are any health problems with burning it inside. It doesn't seem like there should be since it was done ages ago....and it's natural.
Maryam Alnafie from what I understand olive oil is the cleanest burning. Vegetable oil is almost as clean. Breathing fumes from burning Kerosene is known to cause respiratory ailments.
I have used veggie oil lamps to light my off grid home about four years ago. I used 13 of them plus a bowl with a home made element in it for a bathroom night light. There are almost no fumes if you have the wicks properly adjusted so that there is no smoke visible. I like corn oil the best because it had almost no smell at all, but olive oil is not bad smelling and you can add essential oils to make it smell nice if you like that kind of thing.
+Southlander1000 I'm rewiring my house to run on 12 volts DC. The lights are all 12 volt LEDs. Am planning on running off solar panels. Do you have any alternative electricity. I have a facebook page: Low Voltage DC Power Distribution - Solar and Alternative Energy
rlwieneke - you wrote: "I found any brand (Wesson, Crisco, Nice) 100% vegetable oil (soybean) burned better than the olive oil, it's not as thick and was less expensive. Hope that helps." Does the soybean oil burn as clean (little soot), as the olive oil? Also, Since olive oil is thicker than soybean oil - does it last longer? Thanks for making the vid, great idea.
Olive oil is supposed to be the cleanest burning and the safest to breath the fumes. Since the olive oil was thicker and wouldn't burn correctly I couldn't burn a whole container to find out. I have since built some oil lamps from pickle jars and a cork float that seems to have less trouble with olive oil, will shoot a video and post sometime.
My experience using 13 of them to light an off grid home was that corn oil had the least smell and that they were all about the same for cleanness. If you keep the flames down to where there's no smoke, there'll be very little, if any soot. Use what's cheapest.
Alright, I saw somewhere that only pure beeswax blessed candles will burn. Therefore, these would only be good afterwards if you survive and don't look out the window...amongst other things.
I have made 3 different types of olive oil lamps. Yes they light and the consume the wicks at an exceptionally high rate. Wicks are completely saturated. Lamps wont stay lit for more that 3 to 5 minutes. I love the idea a having a clean burning non toxic lamp to burn. I get terrible headaches from other fuels. can anyone help???? Please respond!
This is instructions on how to burn olive oil in a regular kerosene lamp: the instructions include modification. I have no intention of changing the title.
The top with the wick is actually for/from a kerosene lamp, so once it's modified, it might work in a kerosene lamp if the wick is close enough to the oil. You can get a cheap kerosene lamp at Walmart for around $5 if you want to modify it and see if it works. If not, you can just throw the modified burner on a mason jar and still have a lamp. No money lost
use cheaper vegetable oil but prepare it like you would for biofuel. You have to remove, glycerine, water and bacteria , all of which thicken the oil . reduces flow , slows burning and burns up wick faster. The thinner and more vaporous the oil , the better it will ignite and sustain a clean burn.
See other TH-cam videos on making biofuel using vegetable oil. Its not complicated at all. Its worth noting also any oil will burn regardless of its components if you get it hot enough (preheating) . All have different flash points. Also prepping the wick is very important to maximize good flow with minimum burning of the wick. Even the best fuel won`t burn if it isn't flowing fast enough thru the wick. Then you`re just burning the wick ,not fuel.
why waste valuable Olive Oil? You can also use Canola or Safflower Oil, Canola being the less expensive! Were you using a light Olive Oil? Extra Virgin Olive Oil would certainly emit a heavy smell, it also has a lower heating point, it smells when it burns.
+rlwieneke Great video. I understand about clean burning oils & how olive oil ranks very high. This is where cost kicks in. Kleankerosene runs about $11.00 a gallon whereas olive oil is much much higher. Costco is selling soya oil for $15.00 for around 4.5 gallons. Have you tried burning soya oil too? Just wondering if it reacts like the olive oil and burns lower. Many thanks and God Bless!
rlwieneke Yes, soy beans. I just bought some but haven't the courage to try it out in my lantern. That's why we love the youtube community where more knowledgable people show us how it's done. God Bless!
+houndjog if you're concerned about it messing up your lantern you could use just enough wick to test with and in the event of it failing the font can be cleaned out with alcohol or kerosene. Also the flashpoint of soybean oil is higher than olive oil making it even safer but harder to ignite and keep burning. "The flash point of a volatile material is the lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air" MSDS Flash Points: Kerosene: Flash Point: 101.00 F (38.3 C) LAMPLIGHT ULTRA-PURE LAMP OIL: Flash Point: 207°F (97° C) Olive Oil: Flash Point: 437.00 F (225 C) Soybean Oil (Crisco, Nice, Wesson): Flash Point: 491°F (255°C) Canola oil (Wesson): Flash Point 621 °F (327 °C)
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things Allaahu noorus samaawaati wal ard; masalu noorihee kamishkaatin feehaa misbaah; almisbaahu fee zujaajatin azzujaajatu ka annahaa kawkabun durriyyuny yooqadu min shajaratim mubaarakatin zaitoonatil laa shariqiyyatinw wa laa gharbiyyatiny yakaadu zaituhaa yudeee'u wa law lam tamsashu naar; noorun 'alaa noor; yahdil laahu linoorihee mai yashaaa'; wa yadribul laahul amsaala linnaas; wallaahu bikulli shai'in Aleem
The type of good oil must be extracted from fruits exposed to sunlight from all sides. This depends on the type of olive, the time of harvest and the location of the tree. All of this affects the purity of the oil.
UPDATE 11-15-2017
I was checking my kerosene lamps for winter and lit the two chunk lights as well. Neither would burn even though the wicks were still trimmed and clean. Upon inspecting the vegetable oil inside the fonts I found it had congealed thicker and sticker than honey. Evidently vegetable oil if not in an airtight container over time leaches moisture and the gooey substance is far too thick to saturate the wick. I don't know if olive oil will suffer in the same manner but it's too expensive so unfortunately this project is at a dead end and I will exclusively use kerosene lamps for emergency lighting.
Yeah, keep food where it belongs: in the kitchen. Kerosene is much cheaper than cooking oil (unless you can get used oil from a restaurant).
Care needs to be taken with almost everything in life, so regardless of what fuel you use, folks need to be careful
If you fill your little jar to the top with the oil, remove the wick from the burner and submerge the wick into the oil that way the oil doesn't congeal on the wick then Place several layers plastic food wrapping over the top of the jar and put a rubber band around it or proper fitting lid than your oil should stay good for quite some time.

That's the stuff that is not fit for human consumption but then it's mixed with the better quality olive oil and then they sell it for human consumption but at a much lower price.
Olive oil belongs on your salad. Kerosene goes in the lantern.
With over 100 lamps in my collection and a few years experience burning them, I tried all of the tricks to burn quality 100% olive oil in Dietz and Feuerhand wick lanterns. It just doesn't work. Its too thick and the flashpoint is too high. They burn for less than a minute then go out and smoke. Olive oil smoke is a nauseating stink.
After cleaning out the Feuerhand 276 of all olive oil using acetone and installing a new wick, the lantern burned Klean Heat kerosene substitute indoors yesterday for 14+ hours with no adjustment to the wick. It sucked every drop of Klean Heat out of the tank and the wick was dry, then went out. That's a reliable combo for preppers....fresh kerosene, Klean Heat, or diesel fuel. NEVER MIX OILS....they gum up while in storage.
Kerosene works very well in flat wick lanterns just as well but stinks indoors. Klean Heat odor was apparent but not overpowering, gives the whitest color flame.
Diesel fuel burned for 12+ hours in the 276 but the flame went from 1'' high 25mm to 1/4'' high or 3mm overnight without moving the wick. I think its odor was even a bit less than Klean Heat. Yes, its a suitable fuel in troubled times, burns a bit more orange tinted than kerosene, but hardly noticeable..
I'm starting to store my collector lanterns dry. Mixing kerosene and citronella oil in a new Dietz Jupiter burned well on a camping trip. 2 years later the wick had brown sticky goop on it and the flame went out in 5 minutes. It was my lesson to not mix fuels. A few weeks ago I burned my Dietz 100 for 42 hours straight, adjusted the wick up slightly about 3 times total during that time.
Clean fuel, clean wick gives longest burn time without troubles.
Alcohol belongs in your stomach mixed with Coke, Lime juice, tomato juice, etc. To use it in a lantern is inviting a run away flame and a fire. You need an oil with 150 degree F flashpoint. Olive oil is way too high.
My buddy borrowed my Dietz Junior and Coleman pressure lantern to go camping. He knew better than mix the fuels. But his teen daughter put Coleman white gas into the Dietz and about 20 minutes later it burped burning fuel all over the picnic table. It scared them but all turned out well.

I haven't burned one from full to empty. That would take a real long time. It didn't have any problems while testing with various levels so I would say it should. Did mention the wick fouling issue and am planning on another video covering that.
Run a piece of copper wire from the flame down into the oil to get thermal feedback.
Copper wire will transfer heat down into the oil and thin it out a bit.
Thinner oil has a better viscosity than thicker oil and can more easily 'wick' up the wick.
Biggest problems I see with those kinds of lamps is the awful wick adjusters.
They rarely work for long.
@@username-ph8ng Just use a leather sewing needle and sew in some 28 gauge copper crafting wire in mine.
Have not tested with anything other than lamp oil but it seems to work pretty well.
I used carbon felt as my wick with 2 strands of copper sewn in.
Only thing I have to do if it sits a long time is invert it to prime the wick, then light it (rightside up).
Wick is permanent. After initial trimming for your desired flame (or adjusting with the adjuster), you do not have to trim it again.
Arrow head shape, vampire fang shape, zig zag shape, etc. Each can make a different flame pattern.
I made a baker's dozen veggie oil lamps using 3/8" cotton twine for wicking and they worked very well for lighting an off grid home. I bet these would work even better.
I've never tried straight up Olive Oil. I'll use a light Olive Oil, and I'll write you back, you peaked my curiosity!
Very cool! So the key is having the oil as close as possible to the top of the wick. That is why the small jar is needed. Cool.
......or maybe the easier route would be to just mix it with Firefly Eco green lamp fuel. By itself it is very clean burning with a actual clean smell like soap . You can also add a little kerosene to your raw vegetable oil to help thin it and reduce the clogging of the wick by non- combustible fractions , water, glycerine, bacteria etc.
LOL I made exactly that lamp about 2 weeks ago! took apart a broken lamp and used that exact mason jar! Talk about a coincidence!
Hi there, I have an oil lamp with a long wick tube. I have tried olive oil but as you say the tube kind of keeps the wick away from the olive oil so it's harder for it to reach the flame (due to the thickness of the oil). What did you use to cut the tube with? Thanks
Mixing the oil with salt will significantly reduce the amount of sot the lamp produces. This trick has been used for millennia by artists that needed to decorate ceilings in large dark enclosures like churches and was described by the Egyptian artists that decorated the insides of the pyramids. I don't know if it will also brighten the light produced by then lamp like a halogen lamp in a small way.
Yes u can,use any and all lanterns will work with olive oil...
nice information. Would like to know the secret then of the ancient lamps where oilve oil was the primary fuel
sure
I believe the MAIN secret was very simple: just a shallow dish for the olive oil and wick, with a "pinched" area on one side through which to put the wick. Had I realized how much trouble all of this was I might have gone ahead and purchased those kinds of clay lamps still for sale today. (I think they come from Israel.)
@john 3.16 There is no saturation problem with mason jars -- or even short cans. The thing I really like about the mason jars is that you can cover the wick with olive oil, put the lid on, and it will keep for a very long time. (Otherwise the olive oil will get sticky, etc. and be of no use in future.)
Buy yourself one of those "Beer Can Chicken" racks & install it upside down & you have a perfectly fitting Pot Stand to turn your lamp into an emergency cooker !
I just tried it for the fit on my empty antique lamp and the size is right but you would have to be careful to use a new burner since the clips to hold the glass shade on mine are old, flimsy and one is a little loose. It might be a bad idea to put much weight on it. Making an egg or two or re-heating leftovers in a lightweight pan would probably work.
Iv filled a new hurricane lamp with olive oil, iv left it for two days before lighting it. When lit it only lasts a couple of minutes. Whats going wrong ?.
Same with me. Wick is saturated but won't stay lit ....:( :( :(
Well, I follishly started trying to put this all together without seeing your update AND not realizing about the need to get rid of the dome for using olive oil. I have spent so much money buying chimneys, etc. that I hate to totally give up on this project. MY QUESTION IS: HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THE DOME? DO YOU JUST CUT IT OFF WITH A UTILITY KNIFE? (My plan is to put a sealed lid on the container with wick when not using the lamp in order to avoid the thickening and sticky problem with oxidized olive oil.)
Oh my. I figured out how to get the dome off, but my fixture is not the same as the one in the video and I cannot make it any lower due to other parts inherent in the piece. I don't know if I will be able to use olive oil in these fixtures or not! I'll try, and if it does not work will just have to find an alternate fuel that will go up the wick I guess. Luckily I did get some super simple coils for wicks in olive oil lamps. Just won't be as pretty as these.
I suspect since ethanol (Everclear, for example) has a flashpoint in the low 50s Fahrenheit, and vegetable oil has a flashpoint well over the 100 Fahrenheit flashpoint of kerosene, that if you add ethanol to your vegetable oil in the right ratio, you can create an oil that has the same flashpoint as kerosene, and is thin enough to run up your wick, like kerosene. I have not experimented with this, but if the idea works, you can still use your excess vegetable oil in unmodified kerosene lamps, and especially the very bright ones with mantles.
Regardless of that, olive oil lamps have been the main artificial light source for thousands of years, and the trick is not caring about if that wick fouls. The next time a pair of 100% cotton jeans shreds from age, slice it into enough wicks to last a year, even if you use a different wick every day of the week. Once you have old cotton clothes, vegetable oil wick fouling gets cheaper. You can also take the wick out every time you're done with the lamp, wash it off, air dry it, and trim off the tip, but that's a lot of work. If your lamp is made of something that doesn't rust, I've heard salting wicks helps.
According to the WHO, moderate kerosene exposure is NOT particularly toxic. It describes kerosene this way:
"Health:
• Toxicity occurs if kerosene is inhaled while being ingested (aspiration)
• Irritating to eyes and skin
• Aspiration may cause respiratory irritation
• Acute and chronic exposure to kerosene may result in CNS effects including
irritability, restlessness, ataxia, drowsiness, convulsions, coma and death
• The most common health effect associated with chronic kerosene exposure is
dermatitis
• Kerosene does not have a measurable effect on human reproduction or development
• IARC concluded that there was inadequate evidence to classify kerosene as a human carcinogen"
In other words, even if you drink it, it is not very toxic. Chronic exposure can cause dermatitis, and inhaling the LIQUID is very dangerous to the lungs. If we avoid inhaling the liquid, kerosene's toxic effects are minimal.
I was reading Matthew 25 in the Bible about the 10 virgins and the 5 foolish virgins. I became curious and asked a simple question on Google about Olive oil and wow here I am. Thank you for your video.
Can you thin the olive oil with alcohol ?
Thanks for the video - loved it. 1) You said the olive oil burned fairly clean, have you tried other veg oils? 2) Salt to reduce soot - how much do you use???
will the lamp burn the whole contents of the reservoir? do you find it stops working at a certain level?
I'm not sure what happens if we smash a lit lamp filled with kerosene. I know that in the movies it will cause a HUGE fire, but I'm not sure that kerosene is sufficiently volatile, or that its flashpoint is sufficiently low to ignite a fire. One reason kerosene was adopted is that it is not explosive (which must mean that it doesn't form clouds of flammable gas), like some earlier lamp fuels. Someone needs to do a demonstration. Sounds like a job for Mythbusters!
steppenwolf Lamp Oil, rather than straight kerosene has a flashpoint of 65 degrees c, which will never burn without a wick. You can drop a match in the stuff and the match will go out. Bog standard keropsene, that is probably only suitable for outdoors anyway has a flashpoint of 37 degrees so is more volatile, but still safe to use. Were you using alcohol?
Ok, I modified my oil lamp, filled it up with olive oil...
Now, unless I´m rolling up the wick every 2 minutes, the flame really weak, and the smell is giving me a headache.
My lamp keeps doing the same. Did it eventually work? Did you ever find a solution?
Jessica Aytch i designed a completely different lamp that works much better and when having time will make a video covering it.
Awesome. Yes, please do. I would love to know how you did it.
+rlwieneke did you ever make that new video?
+bantalee2002 sorry I haven't yet. am overwhelmed with major projects on my money pit house but will post it when I get a chance to make it.
thank you this helped us with our passover and Lord's Supper

What Kerosene isn't expensive enough for you guys so you want to use olive oil. Try Channel No5 next.
Vegetable oil is best for a round loose wick like a mop strand string wick. We use them as soot lamps in historic properties. They burn like a simple candle but will burn all night. Lamp oil lamps have woven flat wicks, so stick with K1. It is only $3.40 a gal at the pump (if you have that option) or $5-$10 for a bottle at the store. Veg oil in air will dry to varnish goo.
It's not the cost that's making people avoid kerosene. Kerosene shouldn't really be burned indoors as it affects people's respiratory systems, also, they have the lowest flashpoint so that eventually one could explode from the vapor they emit. These 2 features of kerosene make them undesirable beyond occasional camping or backyard use. THAT is the reason people are veering to various vegetable/olive types. And it's Chanel...not channel. That's on the tv.
Dietz lanterns were designed to NOT start a fire if knocked over, back in the days they were commonly used in barns.. Vegetable oils go solid if exposed to air, unused fr several months, and won't wick properly or adjust. And if you are so clumsy as to be knocking over lit lamps, you probably won't survive emergencies anyhow.
It makes a gocky mess on the feeder tube that you have to clean off now and again
do you have a video showing how to make one of these out of house hold items? pretty cool!
Other than the parts listed in the description, no. I wouldn't have any idea how to make a burner from scratch. It would be less trouble just to buy the parts at a hardware store.
cool!! how long does it burn??
Sew in some speaker wire strands into the wick to provide thermal feedback.
Flame heats the copper wire, runs down the wick heating the oil in the wick, and warms the oil to thin it out.
Also, if you used carbon felt you do not have to trim the wick as the felt does not burn.
About fire risk - how about not knocking the lamp off the table?
🤔 ( about fire risk )
@@Olhamo The wire provides thermal feedback. Olive oil has a very high flash point. The thermal feedback keeps the oil warmer so it vaporizes more efficiently.
I have not tested with olive oil yet. Using plain old lamp oil right now.
Works well even at 20F temperatures.
When in doubt, test it out! lol
Good video sir! I found some old lamps being thrown out, and I'm going to try to find a vegetable oil that will work as they are...maybe thinning the oil with something natural. Thanks÷
if you find something that will mix with vegetable and thin it out let us know, that would be a good idea. hopefully something that doesn't produce more soot.
Hello, Have anyone tried wickless oil lamp design? To get desired flash point temperature using electric heating element or self sustainable heating element after initial priming. This is like pressure kerosene stove which after initial priming keeps burning. Thanks.
what about regular lamp oil.
Kerosene wick stove can you use olive oil I was wondering just that kerosene is a strong stinky smell
Great video and the discussion below is excellent! Any suggestions for which fuel would be best for some antique lamps that I don't want to modify? I have a very old (1853) lamp and I feel like I should be able to use something other than kerosene but I'm hesitant to try. And...frankly, my wife hates the smell of the kerosene so I seldom get to use any of the 5 lamps I have. Most are old. Only one new from the grocery store that I'd be willing to modify. Wondering about what Mineral Oil would be like. From what I can find the flash point looks to be ~200 F but I'm not sure if there's any risk or what it would smell like. Thoughts...?
you'll have to use conventional fuels that can flow farther up a wick. Most can be bought at Walmart, hardware stores, Discount stores. I don't know if mineral oil fumes are safe to burn would have to google that. Do not use paraffin oil in kerosene lamps. I have Lamplight brand (used to be Lamplight Farms) "Ultra-Pure lamp oil" for my regular kerosene lamps that I only use in an emergency such as no electricity for days and my batteries running my 12 volt LED lights has even gone dead. It is sootless, smokeless and odorless. Your Wife will love it. However: it is labeled with California Prop 65 Warning: Burning this product may result in the emission of combustion by-products which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.

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.)
+rlwieneke Thank you SO very much. That's a lot of great information. I was unaware of the odorless kerosene alternatives. Much appreciated.
Im having issues using olive oil with a fiberglass wick. do you have any advice?
You will do better with a flat cotton wick.
Hi, and thank you for posting and sharing. I was wondering if I could burn parafin oil in some kerosene lamps I bought. If you know, let me know! Thanks!
Yes, but you didn't explain HOW you converted the #2 burner to use vegetable oil for light and heat. Paraffin oils and K-1Kerosene are becoming hard and very expensive to find these days, so we need to know how you adapted the burners to use veggie oil. I imaging the very light cooking oils are needed in converted burners, so you could mention what oils are better to use. Just showing it working is not enough, we have to know HOW you did the conversion, with what tools you used, burn time for the reservoir, type of wicks, or did you blend oils to make it work. Sorry to be so critical, but to do a conversion and not have it work, would be a waste of a burner and much frustration added. Things do not work because somebody says it will, we have to see how you made it work. With the dollar buying 40% less than it did 18 months ago, runaway inflation, and supply chains interrupted, buying these things IF you can find them and not having it work as you say it works after modification guesses would be most unfortunate.
I bet if you found an old lamp at a garage sale you could take the top off the burner by where the clips for the shade are for a start. The other is beyond me to do since I don't solder or weld.
thank you. Is this lamp safe to burn inside the house, or is it for camping?
It's safer than a lamp using kerosene or lamp oil. If you drop this lamp and the font breaks and the olive or vegetable oil splatters all over it can't ignite.
thanks..I will give it a try. I was just wondering if there are any health problems with burning it inside. It doesn't seem like there should be since it was done ages ago....and it's natural.
Maryam Alnafie from what I understand olive oil is the cleanest burning. Vegetable oil is almost as clean. Breathing fumes from burning Kerosene is known to cause respiratory ailments.
I have used veggie oil lamps to light my off grid home about four years ago. I used 13 of them plus a bowl with a home made element in it for a bathroom night light. There are almost no fumes if you have the wicks properly adjusted so that there is no smoke visible. I like corn oil the best because it had almost no smell at all, but olive oil is not bad smelling and you can add essential oils to make it smell nice if you like that kind of thing.
+Southlander1000 I'm rewiring my house to run on 12 volts DC. The lights are all 12 volt LEDs. Am planning on running off solar panels. Do you have any alternative electricity. I have a facebook page: Low Voltage DC Power Distribution - Solar and Alternative Energy
Nice lamp.
Hey I did this but it kind of produced some weird smoke that made me cough after some while. Is this normal?
Turn the wick down until no smoke comes off it. You had the wick too high
Oh my god that's beautiful cool good work
thank you
Hi sir can you spell brian last name ?
rlwieneke - you wrote: "I found any brand (Wesson, Crisco, Nice) 100% vegetable oil (soybean) burned better than the olive oil, it's not as thick and was less expensive. Hope that helps."
Does the soybean oil burn as clean (little soot), as the olive oil?
Also, Since olive oil is thicker than soybean oil - does it last longer?
Thanks for making the vid, great idea.
Olive oil is supposed to be the cleanest burning and the safest to breath the fumes. Since the olive oil was thicker and wouldn't burn correctly I couldn't burn a whole container to find out. I have since built some oil lamps from pickle jars and a cork float that seems to have less trouble with olive oil, will shoot a video and post sometime.
rlwieneke - Thanks, I'll look for that.
My experience using 13 of them to light an off grid home was that corn oil had the least smell and that they were all about the same for cleanness. If you keep the flames down to where there's no smoke, there'll be very little, if any soot. Use what's cheapest.
Get ready for the three days of gross darkness. Jesus will keep you safe if you have come to Him.
Alright, I saw somewhere that only pure beeswax blessed candles will burn. Therefore, these would only be good afterwards if you survive and don't look out the window...amongst other things.
Diesel fuel with isopropile alcohol mix
I have made 3 different types of olive oil lamps. Yes they light and the consume the wicks at an exceptionally high rate. Wicks are completely saturated. Lamps wont stay lit for more that 3 to 5 minutes. I love the idea a having a clean burning non toxic lamp to burn. I get terrible headaches from other fuels. can anyone help???? Please respond!
Thank you, very informative!
Change the title it is misleading. That is not a regular kerosene lamp.
This is instructions on how to burn olive oil in a regular kerosene lamp: the instructions include modification. I have no intention of changing the title.
The top with the wick is actually for/from a kerosene lamp, so once it's modified, it might work in a kerosene lamp if the wick is close enough to the oil. You can get a cheap kerosene lamp at Walmart for around $5 if you want to modify it and see if it works. If not, you can just throw the modified burner on a mason jar and still have a lamp. No money lost
I was gona use kerosene now im just gona use olive oil with some flowerpots on top
use cheaper vegetable oil but prepare it like you would for biofuel. You have to remove, glycerine, water and bacteria , all of which thicken the oil . reduces flow , slows burning and burns up wick faster. The thinner and more vaporous the oil , the better it will ignite and sustain a clean burn.
how do you separate the glycerine, from the vegetable oil? that sounds complicated.
See other TH-cam videos on making biofuel using vegetable oil. Its not complicated at all. Its worth noting also any oil will burn regardless of its components if you get it hot enough (preheating) . All have different flash points. Also prepping the wick is very important to maximize good flow with minimum burning of the wick. Even the best fuel won`t burn if it isn't flowing fast enough thru the wick. Then you`re just burning the wick ,not fuel.
Thanks for replying.
why waste valuable Olive Oil? You can also use Canola or Safflower Oil, Canola being the less expensive! Were you using a light Olive Oil? Extra Virgin Olive Oil would certainly emit a heavy smell, it also has a lower heating point, it smells when it burns.
+Mark Conti olive oil is supposed to be one of the cleanest burning.
+rlwieneke Great video. I understand about clean burning oils & how olive oil ranks very high. This is where cost kicks in. Kleankerosene runs about $11.00 a gallon whereas olive oil is much much higher. Costco is selling soya oil for $15.00 for around 4.5 gallons. Have you tried burning soya oil too? Just wondering if it reacts like the olive oil and burns lower. Many thanks and God Bless!
+houndjog I hadn't heard of soya oil, what is it made from? maybe soy beans?
rlwieneke Yes, soy beans. I just bought some but haven't the courage to try it out in my lantern. That's why we love the youtube community where more knowledgable people show us how it's done. God Bless!
+houndjog if you're concerned about it messing up your lantern you could use just enough wick to test with and in the event of it failing the font can be cleaned out with alcohol or kerosene. Also the flashpoint of soybean oil is higher than olive oil making it even safer but harder to ignite and keep burning.
"The flash point of a volatile material is the lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air"

Kerosene: Flash Point: 101.00 F (38.3 C)

Olive oil or vegetable oil will not work, I tried it DOES NOT BURN.
Im here from the bible
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things

The type of good oil must be extracted from fruits exposed to sunlight from all sides. This depends on the type of olive, the time of harvest and the location of the tree. All of this affects the purity of the oil.
