A kit for converting an insect repelling torch to enable remote refueling while in operation includes a fuel insert sealed at opposite ends to a fuel pipe and to a wick. This fuel insert is installed within the torch with the wick extending upward into the combustion area, and the fuel pipe extending below the torch. The fuel pipe is connected to the automatic refueling system. In embodiments, the fuel insert can be compressed for insertion through a port into the torch and re-expansion within the torch. Or the fuel insert can be rigid, and can replace a removable fuel canister of the torch. Embodiments can convert previously manufactured torches, and/or can be implemented in the manufacture of new torches otherwise based on conventional designs. Embodiments include fuel level sensors, flame ignitors, fuel valves, local controllers, wireless communication with a remote computing device, batteries, and/or solar cells. 1. An automatic refueling conversion kit applicable to an insect repellent torch , wherein the insect repellent torch includes a fuel tank configured to contain an insect repellent fuel and a wick port through which a wick can extend from within the fuel tank to a combustion area above the insect repellent torch , the conversion kit comprising:a fuel insert configured to contain the insect repellent fuel within an interior of the insect repellent torch;a fuel delivery pipe;a fuel delivery seal configured to seal a proximal fuel opening of the fuel insert to a distal end of the fuel delivery pipe; anda wick seal configured to seal a distal wick opening of the fuel insert to a wick;wherein the wick is configured to extend upward and out from the interior of the insect repellent torch through an upper opening provided in the insect repellent torch.2. The conversion kit of claim 1 , wherein the fuel insert includes a resilient material and/or construction that can be compressed for insertion through an insertion port provided in the insect repellent torch ...
