I had a friend who had a similar experience, she topped hers up with
meths, because thats what she thought it smelt most like.

It melted all the gooey bits inside the lamp which didn't help it at all.

They can be refilled at some lighting shops, in Christchurch she was quoted
$65.  In the end she found another one at a garage sale for $10.

Good luck.
