Firefly Fuel Clean - Clean Burning Lamp Oil - Smokeless, 1 Gallon

My mom brought me two Dietz lanterns that were once used by her father. He used them in the winter to put in the pump house to keep the pipes from freezing. He also burned kerosene in them and over the years they became quite dirty. After he passed away, my mom used them as decorative pieces on the mantel of the fire place and they haven't been used in 40 years. They were in very good shape, for their age, and I spent some time taking them apart and cleaning them. I didn't want to restore them to "brand new" condition as I thought that the paint scuffs and other age related imperfections gave them a bit more character. After getting them functional again, I decided to use this particular fuel by Firefly in the hopes that it would be better for the lanterns instead of using kerosene. I also didn't want to deal with smoke getting everything dirty again and the smell of kerosene isn't exactly pleasant. I'm happy to say that this fuel has worked amazingly well for the old lanterns. It has no odor and only produces smoke if I start raising the wick really high. It was amazing to see the lanterns working again and as a kid, I thought that they were only non functioning decorative pieces. We probably spent a few hours in the garage this evening watching them glow and talked about our grandfather, as well as, the history of these particular lanterns. Now I'm on the hunt for another lantern that I remember seeing hanging on the wall of one of our old barns back home. If I do find it, and I can get that one fixed up again, I will definitely be using this fuel in it as well.

this product burns cleanly and doesn't generate the "paraffin oil" smell that most common lamp oils do. It doesn't seem to burn quite as hot, either. I would say the light output is about equal through most of my lamps, but I didn't change out my wicks as the manufacturer suggests. Overall, a good product. One other note it performs MUCH better in oil candles, the low smoke formula allows you to burn them much hotter without smoking out the room, so that is a definite plus.

I go back and forth between liquid paraffin during the warmer months for the low oder and lamp oil in the Winter months at my remote cabin as it does not freeze. Liquid paraffin gels or freezes and lamp oil produces much too much oder, almost asphyxiating. Until now, I had not found any oil that will not gel up or is oder free. The firefly lamp oil produces a very faint oder, but it’s really almost unnoticeable. Although it has not been cold enough to really put it through the test this year yet, the Firefly oil did stay completely liquid at 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, I did notice the burn times to be significantly longer than the other oils and paraffins I have used in the past and it really does burn clean. I usually end up cleaning my globes every day, but went a full seven days before I noticed a very faint white soot on the inside of the globes after I started using the Firefly clean lamp oil. I will continue to purchase Firefly clean lamp oil for lighting my cabin.

Perfect. Burns very clean. I do not think there could be a better product in this class.

So, it is true to the listing. It has zero smell. None. Love that. I felt like it burned very quickly. Or at least quicker than your every day super stinky lamp oil. I would really like to buy this product again as I live off grid and lanterns/lamps are a far more efficient replacement for candles. I try to avoid using lights unless needed I also prefer candle/lantern/lamp light to led lights. I just feel like this oil burned very quickly and the gallon of oil I bought was gone inside of a week. I don't leave lamps burning all night or anything. Just a few hours a day. Also, not quite as bright burning. However, the fact that is does not smell has me wanting more. But tbe price point is a little hefty I think. Should Should price drop 5 or 10 dollars I'd buy a whole lot more of it.

I really like it it does what it's supposed to do and does it very cleanly. Burns well with no odors. I must buy right now don't wait buy extra in case the world goes even more crazy

Very good product - I will DEF order again. Shipped quickly and well packaged

I have a camp on the Canadian border where the weather gets rather cold. I don't have electricity so my primary lighting at night is oil lantern. Paraffin fuel is fine during warm months, but if it is anywhere below 32* F your paraffin oil is going to "freeze". After a 5 hour drive to my camp I'm not looking forward to putting my six lanterns on the floor of my Jeep with the heat blasting for an hour to thaw them out. This fuel is odorless, and does "freeze" up like paraffin will in cold temperatures. I will be buying a 5 gallon jug on my next purchase.
