If the glass is intact and it doesn’t leak then it should be ok. You can use a variety of fuels to burn the wick,don’t use petrol!!! Will be good when the lights go out.

Should just need a wick and some fuel. You can get lamp oil or I use a citronella oil for mine.

Use clean paraffin for best results, you can buy Lamp Oil but is just expensive paraffin so don't bother. Wicks easily available on ebay.

If it's a genuine 276 new wicks are easy to get

Chances are someone's wound it down and it's dropped off into the fuel tank....

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

Great lamps.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.
