i use my lamps several times during the summer on camping
trip so i leave the fuel in year round..in a sitution where
i lost power at home and had to light the lamp i would not
want to have to find the gas can..pour in the fuel..and
light it all by flashlight..having it ready to go is part
of its usefulness---
i have many gas lamps..i got that one cheap when someone
turned it into a work of art by adding the face to it..i
was going to take all that off but my wife thought it was
cute so as you see it's been left like that...
