Directions for Oil for Tiki Torches

A tiki torch, whether gas, electric or oil powered, can be a festive way to light any outdoor space. Refilling a tiki torch with oil is a straightforward process, but must be done carefully. Tiki torch oil can include scents or insect repellent such as citronella or can be as bare-bones as you please. No matter the fuel type, once you light a tiki torch, you can get back to your guests while it provides ambient light for hours.

Instructions

1. Unscrew the flame guard and wick from the tiki torch fuel bottle.

2. Pour the tiki torch oil into the fuel bottle. Avoid filling above the mark on the bottle. If your bottle does not have a marking line, leave at least half an inch between the oil and the lip of the bottle.

3. Screw the flame guard and wick back on to the fuel bottle. Be sure that you do not over-tighten the guard and wick.

Tips & Warnings

• Store tiki torch oil in a cool, dry place with good ventilation.

• Never use kerosene or gasoline in your tiki torch. Only use approved tiki torch oil. Be sure to keep a fire extinguisher handy while lighting a tiki torch.
