Maybe I'm missing something, but these two statements seem to contradict one another. How does it not hold fuel for more than a couple hours, but it arrived with fuel in it?

If it does indeed have fuel, why not empty it?

I noted the exact same thing - cannot come up with an explanation without taking it apart. Anyway, issue is over - just tossed it out. Will probably buy another Xikar.
