Insect repellent torch system with automatic fuel replenishment

A system that is able to repel insects from an outdoor activity area, the system comprising:

• a central fuel reservoir configured to contain a combustible liquid fuel;
• at least one torch, each of said torches having a substantially enclosed interior and a local fuel reservoir located within said interior, the local fuel reservoir being configured to contain a local quantity of said fuel, each of said torches further comprising a combustion area exterior to the torch and configured for burning said fuel when drawn from said local quantity into said combustion area;
• a fuel plumbing system comprising hoses that are configured to convey said fuel from the central fuel reservoir to the local reservoirs of each of said torches;
• and
• a refueling system configured to cause the fuel to flow from the central reservoir through the fuel plumbing system to the local fuel reservoirs of each of the torches, the local fuel reservoirs being refilled thereby;
• wherein the torches, while interconnected with each other and with the central reservoir by the fuel plumbing system, are otherwise structurally independent and separate from each other and from the central reservoir;
• and wherein the refueling system is configured to maintain the fuel within the fuel plumbing system at a pressure above ambient pressure, each of the torches including a level sensor and a fuel valve that are in communication with a controller, said controller being configured to monitor a level of the fuel in the local reservoir of the torch and to cause the valve to open as needed to maintain a level of the fuel in the local reservoir of the torch within specified limits by allowing the fuel to flow from the fuel plumbing system into the local reservoir.
