Lamp Oil Information I MONS
Purchasing Lamp Oil
Not all lamp oils are created equal. For a reliable candle experience,
purchase a recognised brand of lamp oil from a trusted seller.
Where to Purchase Lamp Oil
Lamp oil is available online and at large DIY stores.
Lamp Oil Classification
Lamp oil is classified as combustible—unlike petrol, which is flammable.
Lamp oil cannot flash, flare, or spontaneously combust, as it requires a wick to
burn. Modern Lamp oil is a highly refined, clean-burning liquid form of solid
(paraffin) candle wax.
Lamp Oil Storage
Store lamp oil in a secure, cool, and dry place, out of reach of children and
animals.
Pouring Lamp Oil
For precise pouring, use a small plastic spouted medicine cup or similar type vessel.
The smaller the vessel, the easier and more accurate the pour.
Warning: Lamp Oil

doctor. DO NOT induce vomiting. NHS England/Scotland/Wales Tel: 111 or 999
