Does it leak fuel? I have bought other lanterns and they leaked so much they are probably a fire hazard.

I have one #80 blizzard Dietz lantern. Two Dietz 2500 lanterns......and one number 8 air pilot made by Dietz...none of them leak.....the main problem with leaking lanterns is people over fill them then they will leak around the burner assembly or the air vents. I have never had a Dietz lantern with any kind of leak.

Can you use regular kerosene in these ?

Yes its made to use kerosene. Use K1 kerosene, also referred to as water clear, untaxed, undyed, blocked pump, etc.. Do not use road taxed red dye kerosene it will eventually clog the wick. You could use lamp oil in a pinch but it does not wick as well as kerosene and is recommended for wicks less than 1/2 inch wide. What you may notice with lamp oil is after you adjust the flame it gradually gets smaller which means you are actually burning the wick down because the oil is not wicking fast enough.

How long can you safely leave oil in the lamp? And how do you remove it if you don't use it all?

I have oil in mine all the time. It does not leak or evaporate into the air. I use it about every three months to see how it is doing. Literally a 5 minute test run. I look at the oil level and just keep it ready for action. I live in a rural area and the electricity goes down now and again, especially during the winter months and storms. I use mine maybe 5 to 10 times a yr for a power outage, but I test every 2-3 months during spring/summer/fall. I have never drained it, or know someone that does as a matter of "storage". I have relied on theses lamps for 50 yrs. I do not know anyone that drains it and stores it, they pretty much handle it like I do. But we do use it for emergencies often enough to not be caught having to set it up, and fill it every time the electricity goes down, that is something you do not want to do during a power outage. A messy pour in the dark is very dangerous.
