How To Make A DIY Oil Lamp With A Can Of Tuna

Tuna: the chicken of the sea. Loved by humans and felines alike and a good source of protein and fatty acids, it’s no wonder why tuna is such a popular lunch dish.

But don’t be hasty and eat that can of tuna yet. According to “The King of Random“, tuna can be a great source of light and heat, which might be helpful during a blackout.

With a can of tuna and a paper towel you can turn it into an oil lamp and that can last up to 2-3 hours.

Though it may be obvious, it might be important to note that he used a can of tuna with vegetable oil in it. It’s safe to assume, in order for this to work, you need tuna soaked in oils (this is an oil lamp, after all).

You can find tuna cans with a variety of oils, brine and water. It’s a good bet you won’t get the best results using one with water. Brine most likely wouldn’t fair well either.
