I would rule lamp oil does not burn the same. My reasoning is if it did<br>
why did people bother with pitch and naptha and greek fire etc. (Other<br>
than pitch would stick).<br>
<br>
That said if you use lamp oil you can use that excellent dropped oil lamp<br>
table which one would hope due to its critical nature has prmolgated from<br>
RQ3 through newer versions:)<br>
