Yep, that's what I would do.
Cleanliness points noted re jet and paraffin quality.
I'd not worry to much about using a "refined" parafin with a nice bit of
perfume added and a hefty markup on price. I'd take a few litres out of
the heating oil tank...
I wonder how much a gallon of paraffin is from a shed these days? Heating
oil is 50p/l now.
If OK, it's a good 20 pounds worth - they sell for ~145 online !
Even if it needs a new jet £20 is a bargin.
